My favorite Junkies album

five4time

Not sure what the reviewer was listening to or if it is just a generic review. "A Common Disaster" and Come Calling (His and Her Song) are their best material. "Angel Mine" and "Hold On To Me" get me in a reflective mood every time. The guitars at once flowing then grinding and the restless drums back Margo's voice as if they were born together. Thank you Junkies for a great album.

They Say All Music Guide

Released in 1996, this CD definitively answers a question that has occasionally plagued the Cowboy Junkies: yes, they sound good, but can they rock? Though still laden with the melancholia that has marked previous efforts, this CD is sonically dense, guitar-drenched, and good at high-volume levels. Margo Timmins’ voice has never been more expressive, and the lyrics shimmer with intensity. Although the band has occasionally touched on quiet moments reminiscent of fellow Canadian Neil Young, little they have done before this album approached the emotive wail of his louder efforts. The Cowboy Junkies have proven their versatility while retaining their unique sound. – Jeff Crooke
