which cowboy junkies cd?

Whites Off Earth Now is my favorite and Trinity Sessions is a close second. I do not think any of their other stuff is close being as good as these two.

Thanks to this post I pulled out my copy of Early 21st Century Blues and found I enjoy it more than I remember. In some ways it reminds me of Giant Sand or Lambchop with its quiet melodic charms. I still prefer Trinity and Whites Off Earth Now but this is worth a listen for sure.

BTW I have seen the Cowboy Junkies on TV and I thought it was so slow that when they came around I did not see them in concert either... Sleep inducing indeed! It is a shame because if they did a concert based on the Whites Off Earth Now album, with it's rockin' and beautiful guitar sounds, I would be there in a flash.

Jack dotson, on the Trinity Sessons you can hear a subway train below the room they are recording in and I do think it was in a church. This is what I remember reading in a TAS or Stereophile article...

I like Mazzy Starr but think they are a bit 'POP' compared to Cowboy Junkies

fwiw
