Cowboy Junkies: Lay It Down fav cd?

I have been a casual fan of the Cowboy Junkies over the years. Today I listened to the CD "Lay It Down" for the first time and I just love it! It is a bit more upbeat and simply produced than some of their other albums. What I like most is how Margo's vocals are the focus here, without too much over production and heavy guitar reverb which they tend to sometimes.

Just curious of other people shared this opinion and if not, what is your favorite CJ cd?

I have most of their cds. Lay it Down is one of my faves, but I
recently discovered Early 21st Century Blues. It has such a soulful feeling that
grabbed my attention. It's a mix of originals and covers. They do a version of
"One" by U2 that's a must hear.

btw, I saw them a month ago at a small club in Oakland. It was the perfect
setting with about 300 people. They did a couple of new songs to be released
on their next cd. It was a fantastic show. Check out their upcoming tour
dates:
