WUMB

Cowboy Junkies are an alternative country and folk rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They are made up up three siblings - Margo, Michael, and Peter Timmins, and friend, Alan Anton - and have gone on to record 16 studio albums along with five live albums. After the released of their second album, The Trinity Session, in 1987, they gained a cult fan base with their ambisonic mic, and mix of blues, folk, rock, and jazz sounds. Although their recordings are infrequent, they are considered events upon release as they have remained to be a successful international concert attraction.

All That Reckoning sounds like the record the Cowboy Junkies have been building up to their entire career. Lost love, mugging politicians, and vanished children are prevalent themes throughout the music. "The Things We Do To Each Other" resonates both intimate and univesal levels of understanding of fear and power. The music on "Wooden Stairs" pushes and pulls the emotions of loss being embedded in a single recurring memory. "Mountain Stream" tells the mournful tale of a "king of empty things" accompanied by screeds of treated guitars. This record presents a brave and timely set of songs that may be some of the band's best work.
