    Just bought a copy to relisten this gem. I didn't notice, in the lp : blue moon and dreaming my dreams with you are missing, not in the cd that i bought in the u.s back then. :'(

      Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session
      I have only heard a few other of their records, but I’m pretty sure this release is their Magnum Opus.
      Track 1 is the weakest item on the CD. It’s not bad, but it is accappela, and it doesn’t have near the holding power as the ones where the band sits in. In fact, even though only weighing in at less than two minutes, to me it seems to drag. Tracks 2, 3, and 4 are better. And then everything from 5 to the end is very good.
      This recording is one of the rare ones where something magical does happen. But I find myself careful not to overstate it, because the music is, in its sense, so spare, and minimal, that it would be a clash to rave about it somehow. This is a gentle, profound recording that is best heard in an intimate setting. I would listen, and have listened, to this by myself, or with one other person, and would not consider this for a crowd. I could even imagine it struggling to be appreciated on the radio, unless it’s played on a late-at-night show perhaps. There’s that much intimacy in it.
      By the way, it’s worth researching the recording method of this. A single special mike was used.
