Cowboy Junkies (CPTV Filming)

This show will be filmed by Connecticut Public Television and will be included on the second season of Infinity Hall LIVE!

Although it didn't originally have anything to do with their sound, the Cowboy Junkies' name wound up seeming pretty accurate: their music was grounded in traditional country, blues, and folk, yet drifted along in a sleepy, narcotic haze that clearly bore the stamp of the Velvet Underground. The vast majority of their songs were spare and quiet, taken at lethargic tempos and filled with languid guitars and detached, ethereal vocals courtesy of Margo Timmins. Over the late '80s and '90, the group recorded a succession of critically acclaimed albums that found favor in the alternative rock community.
