Favorite Cowboy Junkies?

Love Cowboy Junkies. I have seen them live with friends many times and they always deliver. One time after show ended I had to go up to the sound board guy at the Count Basie theater and let him know I appreciated what a great masterful job he did. There was a live in UK  i think Liverpool show album that was superb.

Pretty much all of their albums are great, and I think I have all of them. “Lay it Down” and “Renmin Park” are up there on the rotation though.

So much to like!  Other than the Dead, have seen and listened to CJ more than any other band. 


I prefer the folkier stuff to the spacier stuff, so my faves are Black-Eyed Man and Caution Horses, though I really like the more spacey Miles From Our Home.

200 More Miles is nice live compilation, as is Waltz Across America.

I also really enjoy a sort of self-bootleg I picked up at one of their concerts, Acoustic Junk.  Like a lot of their stuff, pretty well recorded, and I use it to  demo gear.

Newer stuff, like The Nomad Series, have left me a bit cooler. (Exceptions like "Flirted with You All My Life" on the Vic Chesnutt tribute noted.)

I like them a lot. Current  favorite is "Whites Off Earth Now".
Current favorite song is "Murder Tonight in the Trailer Park".

+1 -Miles from our home, the new one 'All that reckoning' in 2nd and gaining ground.
