Cowboy Junkies

By the Cowboy Junkies. I've already written about it, so just check it out.

Lyrics ByRichard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, "I only want to sayThat if there is a wayI want my baby back with me'cause he's my true loveMy only one don't you see? And on that fateful dayPerhaps in the new sun of MayMy baby walks back into my armsI'll keep him beside meForever from harm You see I was afraidTo let my baby strayI kept him too tightly by my sideAnd then one sad dayHe went away and he died Blue Moon, you saw me standing aloneWithout a dream in my heartWit...

Loved their version of Sweet Jane 20 years ago, and it so good yet again. http://www.cowboyjunkies.com/exclusives/trinity/images/video_on.gif

The Cowboy Junkies return to the scene of the crime and re-record the album that put them on the map. Check out the new version of "I Don't Get It."

Gram Parsons was the original Cosmic Cowboy! Back in the late 90's Almo records put together a brilliant tribute to Gram called return of the Grievous Angel. The record features a wide range of artists from Steve Earle to Beck and even Emmy Lou shows up to pay tribute to her lost soul mate and executive produce the collection. It's hard to pick any one track to single out but this ethereal version of Ooh Las Vegas by the Cowboy Junkies was the first that totally blew me aw... MORE

This is quite an amazing album. Recorded at a time when digital recording was coming to the fore, it's as crystal quiet and winter's night beautiful as anything I've heard. It was recorded live in a church with a single microphone, in one day. It's a mix of covers and original which should be required listening for each of us.

Here's a beautiful (and even playful) cover of Bruce Springsteen's "My Father's House" by The Cowboy Junkies. "Nebraska" is my favorite Springsteen Album, hands down. There is a sparseness and loneliness that pervades every inch of it. Margo Timmins has one of the most effective voices when it comes to subject matter and music such as this.

a cowboy junkies kind of feeling. lucy.

It's a hot, sticky evening in Albuquerque tonight...perhaps made even more so by the fact that my air conditioning is on the fritz and I need to get the apartment people out to have a look at it in the near future. I just got off of the phone with D. not long ago and am chillin' as best as I can for now with a glass of wine and the Cowboy Junkies beautifully covering one of my all-time favourite Grateful Dead songs...check it out and lemme know what you think. :-)

Hey there all, I don't yet have an iPod - so I really don't have a "digital" music collection, but that doesn't make me any less of a lover of music. Hope to get to know many of you. As you can see by my MOGname, I am an unparalleled fan of the Cowboy Junkies. My daughter played the CD Lay it Down for me years ago - and that was it - I was hooked. Picked up every single album they had out to date. Try to see them whenever they're playing nearby. So, I look forward ... MORE

As a latecomer to the whole iTunes thing, I've just finally started uploading my music collection over the past few weeks. And tonight, I finally hit the 1,000 song milestone! (Only 20,000 more to go....) The song that did it: The Cowboy Junkies' "Misguided Angel." Hm...does that mean my use of iTunes is misguided, too? I don't think so...in fact, after resisting it for so long, I'm surprised at how much fun I'm having with it. For the first time in years, I'm rediscov... MORE

I know everyones gonna come down hard on me for this one, but if this song doesn't define Grams life, I don't know what does, and you gotta admit, the song rocks! One of the best offerings from the cowboy junkies period!
