Lee Harvey Osmond — A Quiet Evil

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) July 15, 2009 2:34 pm
With side projects being all the rage these days due in part to the predilection of Jack White to start recording with whatever musicians he meets, it's only a matter of time for Canada's answer to White, Tom Wilson to begin another "super-group." Following in the blueprint of Blackie And The Rodeo Kings, Wilson has joined with like-...

Cowboy Junkies — Trinity Revisited

in
By David McPherson (CHARTattack) November 21, 2008 12:58 pm
It's been two decades since the magical recording by the Cowboy Junkies at Toronto's historic Trinity Church. And what better way to celebrate the anniversary than to return to the venerable venue. The sweet timbre of Margo Timmins' voice hasn't changed and the rest of the band still have their chops. With guest appearances by Ryan Adams, Natalie...

Cowboy Junkies Revisit Trinity Session On Stage

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) February 25, 2008 4:00 pm
Too often I find Cowboy Junkies fans all too willing to reduce the band to that seminal breakthrough album, The Trinity Session. It gets treated with a sanctity it deserves, but that should apply to the rest of the Junkies' catalogue as well. The band have been recording for more than 20 years. Can't we find something more to like about them?...

Cowboy Junkies — Early 21st Century Blues

in
By David McPherson (CHARTattack) September 27, 2005 2:42 pm
The years have been kind to Margo Timmins' tender timbre, so it's no surprise that her sorrowful pipes lead these acoustically inclined and intimate arrangements. Recorded last February and March at their Clubhouse studio in Toronto, Early 21st Century Blues sees the Junkies' cover their favourite songs by Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen...

Cowboy Junkies — One Soul Now

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) June 8, 2004 12:04 pm
After collecting a whole whack of recording equipment, the Cowboy Junkies undertook a huge experiment in home recording and self-production, turning their rehearsal space into a studio. The end result is One Soul Now, which bears their trademark haunting sound, yet thankfully fails to fall into the pit of self-indulgent overkill where so many...

Hey, Harold Camping! The Rapture is here! ...Wait, is this why he had a stroke? He thought the Rapture was really here, but it was just a new song by the band? The only thing that could possibly make Korn's music worse? A Korn dubstep album. Toronto photographer Colin Medley's releasing a new book called All I Want Is More Than I Ever...

Cowboy Junkies emerged on the world wide stage largely due to the massive acclaim that greeted the release of 1988's The Trinity Session.

By CHARTattack Staff October 4, 2002 3:30 pm
Despite the wonders of internet shopping, there are still plenty of folks who like to buy their books, CDs and DVDs the old fashioned way, in a store. Cowboy Junkies, long-time supporters of internet artist-run commerce, frequently offer website exclusive merchandise, which sometimes shuts out fans who don't have credit cards or are...

Cowboy Junkies — Open

in
By Zoë Gemelli (CHARTattack) May 15, 2001 10:23 am
They've done it again — tried to make good sounding music and just lightly missed the mark. Margo Timmins finally located her voice on their last release, Miles From Our Home, so now on this disc, the rest of the Cowboys have decided to play around with the sounds they're known best for. No longer are they a sparse country/folk band...

Top 50 Canadian Albums Of All-Time (40 To 31)

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 30, 2000 7:00 am
40. SIANSPHERIC Somnium (Sonic Unyon) 1995 Like a velvet glove dipped in iron, they knew exactly when to punch and when to stroke. Armed with a sinewy intellect and their own brand of gaseous post-rock prescience, they burned a path through the sonic stratosphere. The waves of gentle turbulence and ethereal beauty are still as hypnotic and...
