    Thank you for listening to one of the best unknown band out there. They have an excellent catalog - thirty year's worth! Margo Timmins has a singular voice. The violinist is not a regular par of the band. Michael Timmins is the guitarist - her brother. Her other brother is the drummer (Pete Timmins). Alan Anton is their amazing bass player.

    Harri, welcome to the Cowboy Junkies. Great group, criminally overlooked. I highly recommend their song "Misguided Angel" - Margo's voice will give you goosebumps. You'll be thanking me and all others who convince you to give it a listen. I enjoy your reactions very much - your maturity and understanding are much appreciated.

    This Canadian band "Cowboy Junkies" first album "Trinity Session" was recorded within the "Toronto 's Church of the Holy Trinity" on College Street, their whole album is epic, a must for record/album collections.

    Harri, you are reacting to one of my favourite bands, Cowboy Junkies are basically Margot Timmins and her brothers Michael and Peter, with Alan Anton. Margot has a voice to make me tear up every time, if you can listen to Mining for Gold without tearing up you are made of stone, other beauties are Sweet Jane (yes the Velvet Underground cover), Sun Comes Up it's Tuesday Morning, Misguided Angel and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.

    Another great and honest reaction by Harri Best, excellent !! Since you have taken interest in some of the great Canadian writers (Lightfoot, Peart, Young, Mitchell, Commins/Bachman combination, Bryan Adams & etc.) I was wondering if you have ever heard of an another great Canadian writer by the name of Andy Kim(The Archies). "Rock Me Gently" and "Sugar Sugar" were # ones on American chart and many more "Baby I Love You" "So Good Together" " How'd We Ever Get This Way." and so many more hits.

    I have followed the Cowboy Junkies for many, many years ( sometimes from concert to concert in my motorhome). Fabulous, brilliant band but I consider their old music as the best. For example, consider the albums "Lay it Down", "Back-eyed Man", "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon". "Trinity Sessions" etc. Play some more!

  • @stillh2os17
    @stillh2os17 2 года назад

    Hi Harri-I'm so glad you listened to, and liked this song, and this band. I hope you're feeling better by now. I just listened to your reaction to Powderfinger again, and have a thought or two to share. I believe that there isn't any need to apologize for playing a cover, when it's a great cover of a great song. One sign of a great song is how many really good covers has it engendered. It takes a talented artist or band to make a cover of a really great song that stands alone, and/or makes it their own. A really great song can shine on as multiple different versions. I see from your past reactions that you've heard a bit of Van Morrison. I enthusiastically agree with others who've spoken positively about Sweet Jane and the album The Trinity Sessions. It's a must have album, easily in my top 20. For 3 days, I've been trying to come up with a Van the Man song to recommend. Currently, at this point in my life, I find myself seeking out performers and bands that are indisputably sui generis. I mean, when is the last time you ever heard anybody say that so-and-so sounds like Van Morrison? Never, right? (Same for Cowboy Junkies, too). To me, one who has been listening to Van since he was the lead singer of Them in 1964, he's one of the most talented performers of my generation, or any other generation, for that matter. For you, Harri, Van could be a gold mine. You could spend multiple years reacting to different songs, from different performances, and never repeat a single video. This man has a body of work, and many, many live performances. I'm the same age Van is, and it's often bittersweet for me to watch performances from 50 years ago, because that 50 years feels like about 15 years when I look back on it. (All you Besties be advised, Tempis Fugit is the Truth! Van sings about "the eternal now" on the song "Take Me Back" ruclips.net/video/jBCG8SXD0NY0/видео.html believe me, the earlier in your life that you realize how true that is, the sooner you'll look for "the eternal now" in your own daily life)...great song, btw, end of sermon. Having said all that, and planning on suggesting other favorites of mine in the future, today I'm suggesting a 2015 live performance in Belfast of "On Hyndford Street" that will make your heart full, I think. ruclips.net/video/Mk8d8GtIZkQ/видео.html
    I hope you and everybody else will enjoy a living legend, deliver a true, memorable life message. Incidently, listen to the elderly, sometimes we know what we're talking about (you still get to decide), sometimes not. You'll be surprised how having 90+% of your life behind you tends to concentrate the mind. Peace, all. Over and out, Frank Stillson (spare time amateur philosopher)

    whatever frills cowboy junkies ever had, they lost them really early on. They do wonderful songs of their own but I just love the reverence they treat covers with. Lou reed hailed their super slow version of sweet Jane; they really brought the lyrics to life in a way the original kind of sped past. Lou had a verse for 100 women and he sings them almost as throwaways, but Mary lovingly cradles each word to the mic.
