I just listened to the the Trinity sessions. I am a first time listener of the Junkies. What an awful recording! Ultra high noise level. It sounded like an industial fan was emanating behind her voice especially on the first cut. She does have an excellent voice although pop country is not my favorite style of music.
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.
