Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Revisited

Formed in Toronto by siblings Michael, Peter, and Margo Timmins, The Cowboy Junkies purvey a surreal brand of moody, slow motion country music. Their seminal album “THE TRINITY SESSIONS” was recorded with a single microphone in Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity (hence the title), an engineering circumstance that has everything to do with the record's stark, spacious atmosphere. Bass and lightly brushed drums provide a soft, pulsating background, while gentle guitar embellishments weave around singer Margo's haunting vocal performances. This session from 1988 features guests such as Ryan Adams, Natalie Merchant, Vic Chesnutt and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Bird. A full twenty years on from the original date of recording, the band's sibling mainstays revisited the same church in which the original was captured and decided to experiment with its familiar formats. The result is 'Trinity Revisited' which, although maintaining the same track listing, has a slightly different feel. The spontaneous jam-like aspects remain, but they are given a different personality by the contributions from Adams and Chesnutt, among others.




We're delighted to report that "Trinity
