Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Revisited [CD + DVD]

ON November 27, 1987, a little known band entered The Church Of The Holy Trinity in Toronto for a recording session. The Cowboy Junkies spent an age moving equipment around before finally getting the sound just right for their ragbag collection of originals and covers by writers as diverse as Lou Reed and Hank Williams.

Misfits, murderers, suicide victims, miners with lung disease and star-crossed lovers were all to make appearances on The Trinity Session against their backdrop of spaced-out country-blues, rock and folk.

The Junkies' raid on the American songbook combined perfectly with their songs. One track Blue Moon (Song For Elvis) even drew on their own work and the timeless standard of the same name.

The resulting album is now regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern Americana. It shaped the career of The Cowboy Junkies, still going nearly 20 years on, and brought them to a far wider audience.

With the anniversary approaching, the Junkies went back to the church for the risky business of filming and recording Trinity Revisited. They took some special friends along for whom the original session album meant so much - Ryan Adams, Natalie Merchant and Vic Chesnutt - fine vocal talents and great songwriters.

The resulting performance was stunning, celebrating the original without attempting to re-create it and serves as the perfect older, perhaps wiser companion.
