Such Ferocious Beauty
by Cowboy Junkies (Cooking Vinyl, CD, LP, DL)
An album from the Cowboy Junkies always makes a red-letter day. does not disappoint. Originating from Toronto, the Junkies – that is, the three Timmins siblings and bassist Alan Anton – are well known for their lo-fi aesthetic, a kind of alt countryand-western offers this recognizable soundworld, but accentuated by an unstinting vision of loss and sadness.
