Cowboy Junkies

does anybody want to buy my copy of trinity sessions for cheap? I bought it because so many were raving about it here at audiogon, but it doesn't do much for me.

I agree Bux-Its clean music-but its liking eating rice cakes. Not a drop of substance. I have also TRIED to like the Trinity Session. It just falls way short. I hope I haven't offended any of my fellow "audiogon junkies" no pun intended

I have a pristine Trinity Sessions lp, played twice I think. Once when I bought it years ago, and once in the last year or two after I learned from someone in the industry the way the vocals were recorded. Some members of the band confirmed the rumor in an NPR interview. The singer was actually singing into her own microphone. The signal from her mic was played through a Klipsch speaker, which was then recorded by the mics that were recording the band.

When I first played the lp, I just found it boring, much as I think Tim suggests in the first response to this thread. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough to appreciate the reworking of some familiar songs. When I played it recently, the vocals just seem a little unnatural, but to appreciate that defect you have to have timbrally accurate speakers - this was not something I noticed with my old Monitor Audio speakers. I imagine she sounds great if you like the sound of Klipsch speakers.

I love rice cakes. Couldn't disagree more re: Trinity Sessions. Hey whattayagonado?

I guess I am pretty late catching up with this thread but my copy of Trinity Sessions only arrived a few days back.This was my first exposure to the Junkies having heard great things on this site.Like most naive audiophiles,I am a sucker for things new having spent dollops of hard earned cash on esoteric hardware(just kidding, am enormously proud of my system !).
Wow its a great album - all the tracks sound the same!!!Monotonous sameness. No offence meant to hard core Junkies, the most apt description of this album : sonorous lullabies.
