| Description: | Every Cowboy Junkies album
is a sonic treat, full of gorgeous
guitar tones from Michael
Timmons, haunting vocals from
Margo Timmins, and beautiful
arrangements, and 1996??s Lay it
Down is no exception. But there
is one big difference between
this album and its predecessors: it rocks! And pretty hard, too,
particularly on the Crazy Horse-esque Canadian hit ??A Common
Disaster,? ??Just Want to See,? and the Paisley Underground-style
title track. The pared-down quartet line-up accounts for some
of this tougher approach; but producer John Keane definitely
shaped this album??s sound, lending these songs a palpable Athens,
GA/R.E.M. vibe that transports the Junkies out of their customary
Americana/alt-country territory into a more indie-rock feel. Lay It
Down is a mature album, tackling complex themes (??Come Calling
[His Song]? and ??Come Calling [Her Song]? tackle the onset of
Alzheimer??s from the perspective of an afflicted elderly couple)
with the confidence of a band at the peak of its powers. It??s long-
overdue for a release on LP, and we at Real Gone Music are proud
to present it on pristine black vinyl inside a jacket and printed inner
sleeve with lyrics. A great listen. - No country id on sleeve or labels. |
