Cowboy Junkies February 8, 2011

The Cowboy Junkies were formed in 1985 after guitarist and songwriter Michael Timmins and long-time friend and musical partner, bassist Alan Anton, recruited the former’s sister, Margo Timmins (vocals), and brother, Peter Timmins (drums), to join them. A year later, the band recorded its blues-inspired debut album Whites Off Earth Now!!. The Junkies’ sophomore breakthrough album The Trinity Session, is a melancholic mixture of blues, country, folk, and rock that features a collection of originals, covers, and traditional songs. For more than 20 years, and after eight albums, the Cowboy Junkies have remained true to its unique artistic vision and to the introspective, quiet intensity that is their musical signature.
