I purchased a complication CD with one of their songs, "White Sail" on it. Wow! That song has enthralling lyrics and a simply stupendous melody. From what I heard, it sounds like the Cowboy Junkies are distant (but not too distant) cousins of October Project. After listening to this one song, I realized I had to hear more...and more is on its way. - - --Bill Bill Adler The Cowboy Junkies are my favorite band of all time (even over Kate!), with the October Project a close second. Trinity Sessions, their first commercially released album, and Whites Off Earth Now, their older album, later re-released, alternate as my favorite albums. I am hoping to catch them (again) at either Toads (New Haven) on the 28th or Somerville (Boston) on the 29th. Their music can evoke emotions in me like no other can. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 07:19:03 EST From: Songbird22@aol.com Subject: Re: WB In a message dated 2/16/00 11:34:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, mlowry@startext.net writes: > I haven't written in a long time, but I'm lurking.

It's Dido's "Here with me" from her CD _No Angel_ - an album I would consider to be essential to one's cd collection. :) Jessica www.aquezada.com/jess | www.mp3.com/jessweiser "he numbs himself with weed, he's from the coldest breed who judge by what they see" -leona naess ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 09:06:04 EST From: "JoAnn Whetsell" Subject: more on cowboy junkies with the recent discussion of the cowboy junkies, i thought i'd repass around this tour list (originally sent by neal copperman) so bill and other new discoverers could have it. i'm a pretty new discoverer myself. i saw them playing on tv over the summer when i was stuck at a hotel somewhere between pittsburgh and nj, and i didn't know who they were because i fell asleep, and ecto told me, and i went out and got their album "miles from our home" which i love and later i got "b-sides, rarities, and slow sad songs". i don't have anything else by them as yet, and recommendations for where to go next are welcomed. i'll try to get to their march 2 show.

Ah.. I love Cowboy Junkies.. I have.. let me see.. 8 of their CDs.. and I know there's a compilation or two that I don't have.. I don't know who you could compare them to either.. I wouldn't say OP though.. I'd say theirs is my favorite version of Sweet Jane, I think my favorite song of theirs though is Misguided Angel, so look for that one Bill.. As for albums.. I'd suggest Black Eyed Man, The Caution Horses, and for a good live compilation, 200 More Miles, which is a 2 CD set that I think goes for single CD price, and has a pretty good selection on it. - -- +-----------------------------------------------+ + dave + + Sideshow Bob's House of Wax and Waffles + + Female vocalists, Christian, and Polish music + + http://www.magpage.com/~sspan/ + +-----------------------------------------------+ + irc.dal.net #tori #ecto + +-----------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 18:17:13 -0500 From: Bill Adler Subject: Re: cowboy junkies I definitely agree with the paise that's directed toward the Cowboy Junkies. I just bought two of their CDs today, The Trinity Session and Whites Off Earth Now. Phew, what a listen. I noticed there wasn't an Ecto review for the Cowboy Junkies. We'll have to remedy that.... - --Bill n.p. Over the Rhine's "Good Dog Bad Dog" At 05:47 PM 2/17/00 -0500, you wrote: >Bill asked: > > Has anybody heard the Cowboy Junkies? etc..... > >Ah..

She believed it was by someone whose name sounded something like Jennifer Parsano-- the song was "More than Love" from an album "Oh My?" Don't know how accurate any of that is--does anyone know what this might be? Thanks in advance, Jeff Hanson ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V6 #47 *************************
