Free Music Notes for Cowboy Junkies: Lay It DownFree Music Review: Peter Timmins: Unsung hero of the post-modern love song
Peter Timmins may be the most under-appreciated songwriter of his generation. His songs are always graceful, poetic, elegiac contemplation of life, death and love unrequited. He manages to articulate the emotions felt at varying stages of a relationship with gentility and stunning acuity. On this album Timmins isn't just a songwriter he is a poet. The vivid cinematic imagery in "Bea's Song" is almost reminiscent of D.H Lawrence. Margo's voice is its usual seductive blend of smoke and butter-ripple . A voice at once distinctive yet evocative of the best torch singers that came before her. Her delivery is perfect punctuation for the heart-wrenching themes occurring in songs like "Something More Besides You", "Hold on to Me", and "Come Calling." I always felt that her timidity and the reluctance in her voice were the emotional center of Peter's songs. On this album she comes across as a wounded creature brandishing her scars. After "Pale Sun Crescent Moon", Lay It Down I feel is the Junkie's best album. The songs are all little jewels that reveal new and exciting shades and colors on repeat listening. As a songwriter Peter Timmins may not be receiving the accolades he so obviously deserves, but his songs speak to his ability and has an emotional resonance I haven't seen since Dillon.
