Free Music Notes for Early 21st Century Blues
Free Music Review: Very very good
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the Junkies at their mature best. Top shelf album stays in my rotation. Do not listen while driving however LOL. Turn it up loud after dark and go to a special place. Yes even the one track with some rap music in it is quite good.
Early 21st Century Blues Poster
Nearing the twenty-year mark (their first album, Whites Off Earth Now!!, was released in 1986), Cowboy Junkies have devoted an album to a component that has informed their identity from the beginning: interpreting material written primarily by others. Two of the eleven songs are by Michael Timmins, the rest being arrangements of traditional material ("Two Soldiers" and "No More") and covers by a bracing mix of writers who have exerted an influence on the band over the years (Bob Dylan, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, U2, and Richie Havens). Much like gaining insights into someone by gazing at the titles on their bookshelf, these song choices both fit and embellish the already established portrait of Cowboy Junkies. Throughout, Margo Timmins gently unadorned bearing moves subtly between quiet sadness and quiet hopefulness. --David GreenbergerIn February, 2005 the Cowboy Junkies gathered together for five days of music making at their Clubhouse studio in Toronto. Each band member brought along a handful of their favorite songs by other writers -- songs which focused on the themes of war, violence, fear, greed, ignorance and loss. The atmosphere that week was so magical that the band decided to simply roll tape and document the sessions. The result is Early 21st Century Blues, an album filled with a very special intimacy unmatched since the Junkies released their landmark The Trinity Session album 18 years ago. Early 21st Century Blues features interpretations of songs from artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and John Lennon, plus two new Junkies originals, and is the Junkies' own "small document of hope" for the times we live in.
The Junkies wrote two of their own songs, 'December Skies' and 'This World Dreams Of' for this new album and the rest is made up of covers. They instructed one another to bring in two or three songs, written by others and the themes of the songs had to relate to war, violence, fear, greed, ignorance, loss. In doing so, their goal was ''to create our own small document of hope.'' As one might expect, the band covers songs by John Lennon, Bob Dylan, U2 and Bruce Springsteen, among others. 11 tracks. Cooking Vinyl. 2005.
