    Mike Timmins has left a note on the Cowboy Junkies Facebook page that there will be a box set forthcoming from Cowboy Junkies this Fall. It will be called Notes Falling Slow and will contain remastered albums and a bonus album of new recordings. More information will be forthcoming.

    Ohh! I HOPE they also release them independently of one another. I've been hoping we could get some CBJ on vinyl! Lay Me Down is a masterpiece, and has to my knowledge never been released on LP. But I'm not sure I'd want to shell out what a box set might cost...

    Argh... looks like it's only their later stuff. What is up with their previous record label?! Plus they state it won't immediately be available on vinyl due to the cost (though they're looking into it.)

    Yeah, just their later albums, and only on cd (initially) and as a download. Not a lot to get excited about. I agree, it would be great to have their early, and much better known, albums out on vinyl, especially The Caution Horses, one of my all time favorite albums.

    It's on their Facebook page. Search for Cowboy Junkies, then scroll a bit (it was a ways down by now, when I just found it.)

    I'll spare you the details about my fishing adventures and stick to news about the box set. We don't have a definitive release date yet, but we are aiming for a late October release and we will have them in hand for our October shows on the east coast. The box set is made up of four discs that include remastered versions of the three studio albums that we released in the 2000's (Open, One Soul Now and At The End Of Paths Taken) and a fourth disc, called Notes Falling Slow. This fourth disc is made up of songs that were written during the making of the three studio albums, but never completed or released. A few of these songs made it to the band demo stage, some never made it past my songwriting demo phase and a couple were completed but were left off the final albums for various reasons. This summer we got together, re-imagined and recorded, all but two of the songs for this special project. The result is a collection of songs that has a touch of our trademark psychedelia with a large dose of our folk roots shining through. For a taste of what's to come, you can stream Cold Evening Wind by clicking here. This is a song that we have made a few attempts at recording, but we never felt that we had properly captured the quiet desperation that the song required, until now. We will be posting a lot more details about the box set on our website and facebook page in the coming couple of months so please check in. Also, make sure you keep an eye on our tour page as we have a few tours that are being put together for the coming year. - See more at: http://latentrecordings.com/cowboyjunkies/#sthash.kb49smoQ.dpuf
     
  9. They've been quite prolific it seems.
