Free Music Review: My favorite Junkies CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't think of this CD as "pop" but maybe I'm less particular about music than some of these other reviewers. I love this CD, I love the variety on it, I love the way it slips into the background or comes to the fore when I want to actively listen. And it always reminds me of my best Junkies experience: lying on the lawn at Wolf Trap outdoor concert venue in Virginia, with the moon up above, and Margo singing Blue Guitar, and the sound enveloping me and transporting me somewhere else...
Miles from Our Home Poster
On their seventh album, the Cowboy Junkies hitch their pony to producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Verve) and inch closer toward the mainstream. As a result, Miles from Our Home's title track might be the group's most upbeat and infectious song ever. Unfortunately, it also means Miles is frequently too pretty and pleasant for its own good. Think more Sarah McLachlan, less Velvet Underground. Still, gloom reigns supreme. The atmospheric "Blue Guitar" and, presumably, the slow, shattered "At the End of the Rainbow" (a hidden track) mourn the late singer/songwriter and Junkie hero Townes Van Zandt. "Those Final Feet," a lilting, Band-like tune, marks the passing of the 94-year-old grandfather of the Timmins siblings, who comprise three fourths of the band. Translated through Margo Timmins's endlessly haunting vocals, such sentiments keep the Cowboy Junkies' cloudy mystique alive. --Neal WeissAlternative Rock Music CDs
