Amazing band,
By A Customer
This review is from: One Soul Now (Audio CD)
There are few sure bets in life, but one of them is that the Cowboy Junkies make some mighty fine music. They just keep getting better and better. Musically, this is probably their most palatable since 1996's Lay It Down - 10 great sounding songs from the first spin. Lyrically, most of these songs will take quite a bit of time to understand, as is the case with the rest of their catalog. They continue to write songs that explore deep "life" issues - gothic and grotesque at times, like a Flannery O'Connor novel. On this album, "children" is one of the themes to explore. Some deep studying for those interested, and some ear candy for those that are not.If possible, I highly recommend picking up the bonus disc of cover songs and their CD-ROM, Anatomy of an Album (only through their web site - www.cowboyjunkies.com). The cover songs are the exclamation mark, and the CD-ROM gives very detailed information for each of the songs. You not only get to read the story behind each song, but you get to hear earlier demoes and how each song progressed. Catch them on their Long Journey Home Tour this summer and you should hear a newer version of The Slide.

Specific for the bonus disc,

This review is from: One Soul Now (Audio CD)
Having read the reviews for "One Soul Now" I tend to agree with what has been said, and will probably rate it five stars when I get around to hearing it:-) But for now I can't get past playing the bonus disc of covers, it is so damn good!! I sometimes stop and wonder if music these days has really progressed since the genius of the Cream, the Beatles, the Byrds, the Stones, Led Zeppelin etc. But Cowboy Junkies have got what it takes to make it to the top. Just listening to this EP bonus disc says everything there is to say about real soul music.So ignore this review in terms of the main CD. But don't worry, if you can get the bonus CD alone, your day will be made.

for those who've followed the junkies thus far, saying this is a deep, elegant slice of southern gothic rock-folk is going to be nothing new. but that's what it is. falling somewhere a little closer to "lay it down" than "open", this album contains the latter album's long washes of cure-influenced guitar feedback, and instead channels it towards an obvious lambchop influence which turns the more uptempo numbers on this album into near-bar band rock. but don't think this is a "happy" junkies, oh no: have you EVER known a cowboy junkies album to take five songs' worth of unfolding to reach one song that sounds like it could possibly be a single? "stars of our stars" seems to be the only true "uptempo" number on here. there's a lot of deep, dark territory to explore, and though i liked "open" better for its immediate expanse of dark chasms...there's a wide crevice here for fans to dive into.
