Cleaning up my queue a little bit. I was listening to this when I read about Tina, so that occupied my queue for a while.

Example:

Not great - but really good. I guess that is not really fair, I did like it enough to listen to it twice. I don't know the Label or the performers. It is well recorded with a very live feel.

Example:

Holy smokes that was cool. 

The info just talked about him being a guitarist, not an amazing composer and crafter of sounds.  Added to my list of people.

 

Now:

The Trinity Session

Example:

Famous in my world for all its audiophile goodness.  I had been thinking about it ever since listening to Le Ren. It holds up for all the right reasons. An Incredible recording and just a super cool performance. 

Okay - caught up.

My favorite Cowboy Junkies album is Caution Horses.  Not as well recorded as The Trinity Sessions, but I like the music  more.  Sun Comes Up It's Tuesday Morning is just a beautiful stream of consciousness gritty song, and 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel evokes a ton of feeling as well....

There was a newer release in the last few years, called Sharon, that has some of the first recordings from the album; it was a failed attempt to do similar single-mic recording as Trinity, but the space wasn't as good.  Just some interesting stories around the making of the record....

Of course, I was in love with Margo Timmins too, so that helps the enjoyment 🙂
