200 More Miles: Live Performances 1985-1994 [Live]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
A fitting end to the band's career with the RCA label (they moved to Geffen in 1996), this collection spans a number of years and musical styles, performed with a surprising amount of energy considering the Cowboy Junkies' notoriously laid-back style. The song choices epitomize the heart and soul of this band, whose languid, dark tones are rooted as much in rock as they are in traditional country & western music. Vocalist Margo Timmins's wonderful renditions of Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" and Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" are enough to bring the listener to tears; Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil" and John Lee Hooker's "Forgive Me" conjure some funky blues; haunting covers of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper" and the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" transport the listener to completely different terrain. There are plenty of originals as well, including an especially moving version of "Sun Comes Up, Tuesday Morning." --Lorry Fleming
