Free Music Notes for Miles from Our HomeFree Music Review: My favorite Junkies CD Hit: 5 StarsI 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...
Free Music Review: love their CD's but not this one Hit: 2 StarsThey went for an obvious Pop sound on this one and I gave it away to anyone who would take it after trying for six months to like it. Every track sounds over-produced. Margo's voice track is often hidden under a lot of studio production. Really, it is dreck. Buy "Lay it Down" which is amazing. They lost me on this one.
Free Music Review: Sonic Beauty Hit: 5 StarsThis is the first C.J.'s album. This fine CD makes me want more of their music. The lyrics and the music conspire to immerse you in the Junkies sometimes dark and lonely world. Believe me, this is a good thing. If you value intelligent, well crafted songs, give this record a try.
Free Music Review: A different style that works Hit: 5 StarsThis album differs from other Cowboy Junkies works in that musically it is much popier. It is far from mainstream pop in that the lyrics are some of their best yet, this is stuff you can think about. The music has a sharper edge than their previous works, but it is clean and interesting. The Cowboy Junkies had to grow and diversify, this album shows their wings starting to truly stretch.
Free Music Review: Just too poppish for me Hit: 2 StarsI love the Junkies: I don't care for pop. This album is a foray into a pure pop sound--very disappointing. I would highly recommend finding a way to preview this album before purchasing it, especially if you have been hypnotized by the Trinity Sessions. I consider myself flexible, but the turn of style ranks in betrayal right up there with Elvis Costello's Burt Bacharach fiasco.
