Cowboy Junkies – Lay It Down (CD, Album, Geffen Records GEFD-24952)

Why This CD Matters
Lay It Down marked a fuller, more rock-oriented turn for Cowboy Junkies while keeping the band’s roots in blues and country. Michael Timmins’ songs move from the slow-building “A Common Disaster” to the title track and its shadowy atmosphere. Margo Timmins’ understated vocals and the band’s layered guitars and strings give the album a distinct balance of tension and warmth.
