Summary: Been Searching a Long Time
Comment: If asked, I would have guessed the Cowboy Junkies to be another punk band from the 90's. So glad to be doing the CDNOW search thing and find this group. Unlike 1976 Its not easy for old guys like me to find good "new" music. God knows its not on the radio anymore. Everything about Trinity Session is great. The sound quality is 5 star, same for the mood and sparse instrumentation. The original and cover songs are all amazing, heck even my wife likes it! This could be what Karen Carpenter and Jimi Hendrix would be doing together today if we were lucky enough to still have them here. If you love a terrific female lead singer get this album. The moods here remind me of the best Van Morrison albums or Pink Floyd. I highly reccomend this to all.

Summary: It just gets better...
Comment: "Trinity Sessions" is the classic "it grows on ya" CD. When I first heard it, I was actually pretty bored with it... I became familiar with CJ through "Pale Sun Crescent Moon", which is a whole lot more dynamic and simply put, louder. Well, times have changed! There is an honesty here that is very lacking in most music today. While most of the music world has embraced that formulized Grammy Award sound (you know, the warbling screeching over-Midi-fied voice over soul-less mathematical arrangements), "Trinity" stands out as, well, just real authentic. Someone a while ago wrote that this sounds "inauthentic" - well, ya gotta know authenticity to appreciate it! "Trinity" is sparse, haunting, ethereal, and of course moody - but it is not boring or simple. There is a complex layering of notes and vibes here that just grows more interesting with every listen. This is a CD that tends to get heard end to end, there is no clear break anywhere, it is just like one long, metamorphosing song. Favorites? The entire CD. Well, OK, if I had to choose a few songs, it would be "Misguided Angel" - wow... the ultimate bad-boy song, and probably "Sweet Jane". When I'm in "that mood" I reach for this CD, and it sits right there next to my Emmylou Harris and Neil Young CDs.

Summary: Late nights and cold days
Comment: I got this as a hand-me-down cassette and it got me through so many late nights and cold, dark days when I was in college that I couldn't _not_ replace it when it finally gave out. I especially missed "Misguided Angel" and "200 More Miles". It's not dynamic, though, so if you're looking for something with a more obvious rock sound, this isn't it, but it's a great album.

Summary: the earliest is still the best
Comment: I got a new copy of this to put it on my ipod. My favorite line is "soul like a lucifer..soul like a piece of wood."
Customer Rating:
Summary: great tone poem for late night
Comment: I read reviews before buying this (which I typically do not do before writing a comment) and mostly I agree...however I would give this a 4.5 for the following: The Cowboy's version of Waylon's "dreaming my dreams' so diminishes the melody its a missed opportunity--and the bass line is just plain out of synch with what this song requires....and on Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome I could cry" nobody changes Hank's lyrics...especially "lonesome SKY to Haze" which doesnt make the next stanza rhyme...there are two times when the harmonica comes in and its mixed way too loud --its jolting...I have to say that their take on Sweet Jane kinda makes up for those lapses....

Editorial Reviews:

On their sophomore effort, Canada's Cowboy Junkies manage to make a one-day recording session in an old church one of their most satisfying listens. Featuring the sultry voice of Margo Timmins, the precise musicianship of her brothers Peter (on drums) and Michael (on guitar), and bassist Alan Anton, The Trinity Sessions is a spare, evocative, countrified-rock classic. Their inspired reworking of both "Blue Moon" and "Working On A Building" reveal the Timmins family to be talented interpreters and insightful neo-traditionalists. Mixing the ambitious songwriting of Margo and Michael Timmins with subdued covers of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" and Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," The Trinity Sessions is an exquisite collection that holds up quite well under repeated listenings. --Mitch Myers
