Broadcast on "Canada Live" - CBC Radio 2

It seems like it was only yesterday when the Cowboy Junkies burst into the scene when they released the haunting Trinity Session in 1998. Recorded live on a single microphone at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity, it was the Canadian group's second album and it made the world take notice.

This is what Anthony DeCurtis wrote in Rolling Stone magazine when the album first came out:

"The Trinity Session is in the great tradition of albums that establish a mood and sustain it so consistently that the entire record seems like one continuously unfolding song. The mood in this instance is hypnotic and introspective - an intense, melancholic longing that blends the elemental emotions of country music and the blues with the poetic world-weariness of the Velvet Underground.

"All of the songs on the album are given spare, airy, slow-tempo treatments that evoke an atmosphere of mystery and allow the listener's imagination to wander through their dark, empty spaces as if exploring a haunted house... The definitive feature of the Cowboy Junkies' sound, however, is Margo Timmins's remarkable voice. Ethereal and cool, it is just throaty enough to impart a sirenlike sensuality to the music.

"Having good songs, the skill to convey what they have to say and, most important, a vision, the Cowboy Junkies dispensed with hightech trumpery and made their record simply and seriously. That attitude helped make the album as important as it is inspiring."

In 2007, the Cowboy Junkies released Trinity Revisited, a re-recording of the album, with guest artists that include Ryan Adams, Vic Chestnutt, Natalie Merchant and Jeff Bird.

And on February 23, 2008, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Trinity Session, the group performed the entire album at Massey Hall in Toronto. --- bigozine2.com
