Cowboy Junkies Artist Snapshot:

Taking their cue from various country-music mavericks, jazz legends, and the Velvet Underground, the Cowboy Junkies were one of the pillars of the 1980s alternative rock scene. The Canadian quartet perfected an atmospheric, almost soporific brand of country music driven by the smokey voice of singer Margo Timmins. Never a huge commercial success, yet quietly influential, the band continued to tour and record throughout the '90s and 2000s.

The title of this 2001 collection is a bit of a misnomer, since it only draws from the Cowboy Junkies' years on the RCA label (1986-1993). However, since that era was the Canadian ensemble's heyday, it still serves as a fine (if not comprehensive) overview. The collection features their gorgeously drowsy versions of the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" and Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," along with notable originals such as the spare "Misguided Angel" and the gentle "Ring on the Sill." Throughout these 16 tracks, the cool, plaintive vocals of Margo Timmins and the delicate guitar work of Michael Timmins (her brother and the group's songwriter) are showcased, making this an excellent primer for those unfamiliar with the band's beautifully languid sound.
