Hey Garfish, I'm starting to warmup to this a little bit on the first five tracks. The recording certainly isn't very clean and has a nasty top end, this on a very forgiving tubed preamp/amp combo, pity the the listener with solid state electronics, especially on track three, must send them scurrying for the volume control or out of the room. I don't know if you're tubed or SS. I'm also going to try to track down the other albums you have that I lack. Thanks for the input.
Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions
I just got the new album today and I'm not very enthusiastic. The first five cuts are what I'd describe as acid grunge, not to my liking. Track six is good but seems out of context with the rest of the album, but from at least here on it is more enjoyable. I like track nine the best. I listened twice through using tube electronics and once with solid state, much better with tubes. My current preference for seven albums I have are #1 "Lay It Down", #2 "Black Eyed Man", #3 " The Trinity Session", #4 "Whites off the Earth Now", #5 "MIles from our Home", #6 "Cresent Moon", #7 the latest "Open". Margo has such a great voice that I don't know why they don't display better.
