Favorite Cowboy Junkies?

I give All That Reckoning a listen.

Very well put together, and I think better than some of their other recent efforts, but still on the spacier side of their range, which, as I've said is not my favorite part of what they do.

I guess the folkier stuff is "bouncy" in a way that is uplifting, even when the lyrics are sad -- as they usually are!

If you do like the spacier stuff, definitely check out, if you've not already, Mazzy Star's So Tonight That I May See, a "hypnofolk" classic of around CJ's vintage.

@jdoris I love So Tonight I Might See by Mazzy. Put it on at least once a week. Is "hypnofolk" it's own Genre? I'll have to check. It should be.

It looks like I hallucinated "hypnofolk" -- nothing on wikipedia, though there is a band of that name.

Sure does describe Mazzy, though!

Others to try in the CJ vein:

Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, "Reckless Burning"

Po'Girl, "Vagabond Lullabies," and "Home to You"

Lay it down & Pale Sun Crescent moon.

Here is some news from the band:
