So I,am glad with these album. The musical accompaniment of all the used instruments is a pleasure for your ears.It is very special to hear "Sweet Jane" on this way, I have the vinyl performance (rockin animal)of Lou Reed. The sultry voice of Margo Timmens live recording at the church The Holy Trinity in Toronto. This is Blue Grass/Folk from the highest level.
A real gem. Great laid back CD and a real audiophiles dream. My speakers simply disappear.
The vocals are totally drowned out by the instruments - especially on To Love is To Bury.
There is nothing too special about much songwriting in the originals, they simply emulate traditional forms far more sensitively in this taut session. While the lyrics and mood may remain similarly down, the subtle life injected over evocative female breathy-ness is anything but. It is amazing that this was recorded how it was, I supposed they had a sound and they knew what they were going for, and it still remains an amazing production technique, perhaps overshadowing much of the work itself. 3 1/2Last chance for a slow dance. Soothing, and sad, these atmospheric tributes along with quite a few worthwhile covers were on par with the best slow-core could muster, the Junkies here especially sounding like some kind of countrified early Low.
God knows its not on the radio anymore. If you love a terrific female lead singer get this album. So glad to be doing the CDNOW search thing and find this group.
The original and cover songs are all amazing, heck even my wife likes it. The moods here remind me of the best Van Morrison albums or Pink Floyd. This could be what Karen Carpenter and Jimi Hendrix would be doing together today if we were lucky enough to still have them here.
If asked, I would have guessed the Cowboy Junkies to be another punk band from the 90's. The sound quality is 5 star, same for the mood and sparse instrumentation. I highly reccomend this to all.
Unlike 1976 Its not easy for old guys like me to find good "new" music. Everything about Trinity Session is great.
