5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful recording from a great band, July 9, 2002

On Caution Horses, the Cowboy Junkies third album, we find the band venturing into country territory. And they do it well. Margo's voice is as sultry and beautiful as ever. The songs are woven together like a collection of sad, short tales.
There is not a weak or bad song on this album. Highlights of the album for me are "Cause Cheep Is How I Feel," "Rock and Bird," "Witches," and "Where Are You Tonight." Their cover of Neil Young's "Powderfinger" is probably the only cover of a Neil Young tune that I can honestly say sounds better than the original.
This is one of those desert island albums that you gotta have.

Margo Timmin's greatest preformance. Mike's greatest songs. My very favorite two songs are on this album, Cheap is how I feel and The sun comes up its Tuesday morning. This CD is the only one which is better than Trinity Session.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant, June 21, 1998

On their third album, the Cowboy Junkies come into their own as one of the finest bands to emerge in the 1980's. Unreasonably labelled melancholic, the Junkies sound dwells in the shadows like a haunting country tune coming through a late night AM station somewhere in Nebraska. This album marks the emergence of Michael Timmins as a brilliant songwriter who has the ultimate luxury in a sister who can sing any line and make it beautiful ("it's so cold when you spit/it freezes before it hits the ground"). The album unfortunately slipped through the cracks of the musical landscape when it was released. However, it would be tough to return to 1990 and find a stronger collection of songs released in that year.
