On their sophomore effort, Canada's Cowboy Junkies manage to make a one-day recording session in an old church one of their most satisfying listens. Featuring the sultry voice of Margo Timmins, the precise musicianship of her brothers Peter (on drums) and Michael (on guitar), and bassist Alan Anton, The Trinity Sessions is a spare, evocative, countrified-rock classic. Their inspired reworking of both "Blue Moon" and "Working On A Building" reveal the Timmins family to be talented interpreters and insightful neo-traditionalists. Mixing the ambitious songwriting of Margo and Michael Timmins with subdued covers of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" and Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," The Trinity Sessions is an exquisite collection that holds up quite well under repeated listenings. --Mitch Myers

A timeless album from a fantastic band

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Trinity Session introduced the world to the greatness that is the Cowboy Junkies. The band has an impressive catalog of music where they have added new dimensions to their sound over the years while retaining their identity as well as a tremendous amount of class to their work. However, the Trinity Session is their masterpiece and this has not aged one minute since its 1988 release which is a testament in itself. The album is half covers and half originals but the Junkies don't play it straight on the covers and the originals are all fantastic. Now, if you're new to the band, you must know: This is late night music. You can't rock out to it. The most well known track is the band's slow to a crawl version of the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane", which they truly made their own and they do the same with their take on the former bouncy barbershop quartet sound of "Blue Moon" (here as "Blue Moon Revisited") and on Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" with impressive results. They are also adept at adding the right amount of color with the harmonica playing on the slow blues of "I Don't Get It" and the accordion and the subtle slide guitar lines on their read on "Walking After Midnight". Margo Timmons' vocals are fantastic throughout and are beautiful on the opening couplet of "Mining for Gold" and "Misguided Angel" while "To Love is to Bury" and "200 More Miles" play like great old school country. Michael's spare yet stark guitar lines bring the perfect emotion whether it's a sensual track like "Dreaming My Dreams with You" or their haunting read of "Working on a Buliding". Finally, "Postcard Blues" is yet another stunner between Margo's vocals and the loud harmonica lines and the band's spare accompaniment. A timeless album from a fantastic band. Highest recommendation.

It just gets better...

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2007

"Trinity Sessions" is the classic "it grows on ya" CD. When I first heard it, I was actually pretty bored with it... I became familiar with CJ through "Pale Sun Crescent Moon", which is a whole lot more dynamic and simply put, louder. Well, times have changed! There is an honesty here that is very lacking in most music today. While most of the music world has embraced that formulized Grammy Award sound (you know, the warbling screeching over-Midi-fied voice over soul-less mathematical arrangements), "Trinity" stands out as, well, just real authentic. Someone a while ago wrote that this sounds "inauthentic" - well, ya gotta know authenticity to appreciate it! "Trinity" is sparse, haunting, ethereal, and of course moody - but it is not boring or simple. There is a complex layering of notes and vibes here that just grows more interesting with every listen. This is a CD that tends to get heard end to end, there is no clear break anywhere, it is just like one long, metamorphosing song. Favorites? The entire CD. Well, OK, if I had to choose a few songs, it would be "Misguided Angel" - wow... the ultimate bad-boy song, and probably "Sweet Jane". When I'm in "that mood" I reach for this CD, and it sits right there next to my Emmylou Harris and Neil Young CDs.

The record that made them famous

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2000

I remember in 1989 watching Saturday Night Live and gettingready to shut it off, when the special musical guest came on COWBOYJUNKIES. The first song they sang was Misguided Angel, I saw eight people playing with their entire soul for all to see. I still remember how Margo Timmins trembled with every note. I have been a diehard ever since. Margo has one of the best voices in popular music ( I would say that she is the Billie Holiday or Patsy Cline of our time.)Her bother Mike is songwriter with few rivals, and he is one of the most imaginative guitar players ever. This record is special, recorded in one sitting, no retakes into on single microphone. The Trintiy Church where it was recorded is an accoustic chathedral. It is impossible to describe the effect this had. It brought out the newance of the band well and Margo's voice is at center stage. Great remakes such as Blue moon and So Lonesome I Could Cry and yes Sweet Jane. These cover tunes are done with respect for the artist who first recorded them and with a Junkies flavor that makes them seem like they were recorded for the first time by someone who loved them. Great originals like Post Card Blues and I don't Get it! A must have!

Silky mix of R&B, rock, and country/folk

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 1998

Verified Purchase

Hold on to your socks.
Margo Timmins's voice is silky, sensual, and at times disturbing in the dark, brooding, and often obsessive lyrics redolent with tenderness, anguish, and remorse.
Though original in its arrangement, the band clearly pays its dues to those that they were influenced by: Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, and Lou Reed, amongst others. The album is a beautiful "thank you" note to musicians that they were powerfully touched by, but these are more than just "covers": The Cowboy Junkies take known material and present it in completely new ways, that show both their imagination and versatility. There is also original material, as well as one "traditional" piece sung a capella.
The quality of the recording itself is extraordinary: the album was recorded in a church in Toronto (hence the name) and the reverberations that are apparent only serve to underscore the range and silky, almost liquid, texture of Ms. Timmins's voice. With a good pair of headphones, close your eyes and you will feel yourself to be a couple of feet away from the band as they play in front of you. The intimacy of both the themes and the proximity of the musicians is overwhelming.

Simply Outstanding

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2004

Verified Purchase

Recorded live in November 1987 at Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto (and hence "The Trinity Session"), this was the Cowboy Junkies' second album. The track listing is made up of a number of self-penned tunes, a couple of traditional songs and a few cover versions. I never would have thought it possible that songs by Lou Reed and Hank Williams could appear on the same album without sounding at odds with each other...yet that is exactly what the band have achieved.
There are so many outstanding tracks on this CD it's hard to pick out the highlights. The two traditional tunes - "Mining for Gold" and "Working on a Building" - would certainly be among my favourites. "Mining for Gold" opens the album, and is sung unaccompanied by Margo. Although only about a minute and a half long, it's beautifully delivered with a real sense of melancholy. "Working on a Building" is the other traditional tune. This time, the rest of the band are allowed to join in (!!) and the song is played with a slight jazzy feel. Alan Anton's bass playing, excellent throughout the album, really adds to the atmosphere on this song.
It was "Blue Moon Revisited" that first brought the band to my attention. Entirely different in sound and style to the original "Blue Moon", it's a beautifully laid back number with a hint of sadness and regret. "Sweet Jane", written by Lou Reed, has become a huge favourite of the Junkies' fans, and has been referred to as the band's signature tune. Alan's bass, again, contributes greatly to the mood on both songs.
Of the songs written solely by members of the bands, "Postcard Blues" and "Misguided Angel" are, for me, the best. A guest musician, Steve Shearer, provides the harmonica on the former - a contribution that allows the song to live up to its name.
The album was captured live, using a single microphone and cost only CDN $250 to record. It's also a great example of how keeping production work to a minimum can, at times, help the album. Admittedly, the quality of the songwriting, the playing and the singing is also a big help ! Margo, like the Irish folk / trad singer Cara Dillon, has a beautiful voice - it's something that really strikes home when a song is sung unaccompanied.

OK but not one of their better efforts.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2016

This is one of those "need to be in the mood albums" really. I notice all the other 5 start reviews, but I will risk the wrath of Junkie fans by saying I think this album is good but flawed. In parts , Michael Timmins starts with his "stocato" style guitar (as I've heard it described) which sounds awful in bits. Then, in bits, the songs are slowed down so much , the only thing missing is the sound of one of the band falling asleep mid-performance and hitting the floor ! As always , however, Margo Timmins saves the day ! Her vocals would save the worst band in the world , so the cowboy junkies . I would have to say that there are better Cowboy Junkie albums - although in truth, you will struggle to find a bad one , mostly thanks to vocalist Margo !
