The Cowboy Junkies have one of the best music catalogs of the last 40 years, filled with more a dozen studio albums that have only grown more intriguing and impressive over time.
The Canadian band — consisting of siblings Margo, Michael and Peter Timmins and lifelong friend Alan Anton — remains best-known for the 1988 major-label debut “The Trinity Session,” a lo-fi gem that mixes country, rock, folk and pop in ways that absolutely astound, and includes the album’s signature cover of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane.”
The Junkies went on to release a number of popular offerings in the ‘90s — including “Caution Horses” and “Lay It Down” — but then began to fade from the public’s eye as they rolled into the new millennium.
