Cowboy Junkies fans........


I know a lot of Audiogon members are Cowboy Junkies fans so I thought I'd put out this notice. The Cowboy Junkies new CD "Waltz Across America" is out and is excellent. The recording is Live, very good, and has some great new songs-- although a couple are pretty far out for me. If you've got a decent system, you'll think Margo Timmins is in your listening room. Highly recommended. Cheers. Craig.

Swampwalker; I believe I have all the Junkies CDs-- and not a bad one in the bunch. Dan; I'm looking forward to L. Lovetts "Joshua Judges Ruth". I should have noted that this CD was just released 10/11/00 so it may not be at the retail level yet-- Cornfedboy reminded me. I got it on a pre-order from "The Junk Store", www.cowboyjunkies.com Good Luck. Craig.
It seems this CD is presently only available through the Cowboy Junkies "Junk Store", it's at www.cowboyjunkies.com. I just learned this from Cornfedboy via email. As noted above, I pre-ordered the CD I got-- I'm on the Junkies "Junkmail" list. I paid $14. + 5.15 S&H. The S&H is a little steep, but I'm glad I got the CD. Cheers. Craig.
Hi Dekay; Michael Timmins is the Junkies lead guitar player (and Margo's brother), and he also has written much of their music, as well as producing-- a talented guy. And I agree that he uses some strange chops, but they always add to the music. Besides Margo's voice, I also really enjoy all the band's work. Another Timmins is on drums, and they have a guy that travels with them that plays FIVE instruments, ie he does the mandolin and harmonica work etc.. Cheers. Craig.
Glad to hear from so many 'Junkies fans. I think I saw on their website, or maybe via their Junkmail (I'm on their email list), that the band is working on a new studio album to be released spring/summer-- looking forward to it. Happy Holidays. Craig
