5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely great, March 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Studio: Selected Studio Recordings 1986-1995 (Audio CD)

This is definitely the one CJ album to buy if you are only going to have one. There is not a bad cut on this, and there are numerous great ones. "Powderfinger" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is one of my favorite rockers, but in the CJ's hands it becomes an ethereal ballad. The CJ's version of "Sweet Jane" is likewise very different from the Velvet Underground's, but equally authentic. The most memorable cuts on this album, however, are the CJ's own songs. They remind me a lot of their Canadian countryman Gordon Lightfoot, with very intelligent lyrics and carefully crafted melodies. Their sound is unique, and Margo Timmins' voice should be declared a national treasure. I can't imagine why they aren't bigger stars. You won't regret adding this to your collection.

This cd is a magnificient hour-long collection of great music from the peerless & unique Cowboy Junkies. The selections (covering tracks from the six studio albums through 1995's "Lay it Down") are presented chronologically and provide the listener the opportunity to experience the growth of the band through the years (not that any growth was really needed). From the early "Shining Moon", the classic "Misguided Angel", to an unreleased 6+ minute studio version of "Lost My Driving Wheel", these songs are literate (Michael Timmins is one of the great songwriters of the past 10 years) and sung with such sultry passion you will be gasping for air. For the unitiated, this is a great place to start your Cowboy Junkies' collection. And for those already familiar with the great Canadian band, this cd provides the perfect summary of their first ten years! Buy it!

If you are just discovering Cowboy Junkies, this is a great CD to start with. If you are already a fan, it's a superior collection of thier best cuts. Also, you should know that the Cowboy Junkies in general are like a fine aging wine...subtle, soft, but intense...the more you play them, the better they get. Listen to this one over and over, and ENJOY!!!
