My copy just showed up yesterday and I ordered later on, so the others should be showing up shortly. Now having listened to the CD 6 times, I like it. It is just a departure from the open mike live sound of their other albums and does not favor the vocals. They are still good tunes just not good recordings.
Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions
I just got the new album today and I'm not very enthusiastic. The first five cuts are what I'd describe as acid grunge, not to my liking. Track six is good but seems out of context with the rest of the album, but from at least here on it is more enjoyable. I like track nine the best. I listened twice through using tube electronics and once with solid state, much better with tubes. My current preference for seven albums I have are #1 "Lay It Down", #2 "Black Eyed Man", #3 " The Trinity Session", #4 "Whites off the Earth Now", #5 "MIles from our Home", #6 "Cresent Moon", #7 the latest "Open". Margo has such a great voice that I don't know why they don't display better.
