Cowboy Junkies – One Soul Now – Vinyl LP

Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition

“One Soul Now”, the Cowboy Junkies’ ninth studio release, will be reissued on CD and available for the first time on vinyl.
The album, originally released in 2004, draws together all the wisdom, passion, skill and insight collected during almost 20 years of playing, writing, touring, recording and living together as a band. Following the group’s acclaimed 2001 release “Open”, the 10 songs that make up “One Soul Now” marked an ambitious departure for the group; it was the first time Cowboy Junkies had recorded entirely on their own, without the mediation of an outside producer or engineer. “One Soul Now” was created in the band’s rehearsal space in their hometown of Toronto, which doubled as a recording studio for the project.
On its original release, “One Soul Now” attracted widespread praise. AllMusic.com proclaimed, “It picks up where “Open” left off, retaining the tougher sound highlighted by edgy guitar work and a more rhythmic pulse. Margo Timmins’ vocals are hypnotically lovely as usual, merging with bluesy guitar riffs and emerging above the morass as the chorus kicks in”, whilst Q Magazine dubbed the Cowboy Junkies “The hippest name in alternative circles”.
Since the multi-platinum success of their seminal 1988 release “The Trinity Session” – an album which helped set the stage for the burgeoning Americana roots music movement – Cowboy Junkies attracted an uncommonly dedicated international following which has remained loyal to the band. “One Soul Now” was arguably the most outward-looking album of Cowboy Junkies’ career upon its initial release, providing a perfect showcase for the core quartet of Michael (guitar), Margo (vocals), Peter Timmins (drums) and Alan Anton (bass).
