Cowboy Junkies formed in 1985 in Toronto, and the band is still comprised of its four original members: Margo Timmins (vocals), Michael Timmins (guitar), Peter Timmins (drums) and Alan Anton (bass)—all siblings except for life-long-family-friend Alan. Few bands have lasted nearly as long with their original line-up intact, and fewer still have created as consistently satisfying a body of work.

Cowboy Junkies' latest studio album is At the End of Paths Taken. Despite its title, the album is as much about new beginnings as it is about endings. It is also about human connections, the struggle to sustain those connections over time, and the complexities that can arise even when those connections are maintained. It is, in other words, a classic Cowboy Junkies album—a suite of smart, richly textured songs. PopMatters called it "probably the group's most sonically accomplished disc yet... Even at their angriest, or saddest, or even occasionally happiest, they're always in complete control."
