Cowboy Junkies:New Album & 2023 Australian Tour

February 22, 2022 News

Canadian alt-country pioneers Cowboy Junkies will return to Australian for the first time in over 20 years in Jan/Feb 2023. ( Tour dates and tickets here ).

Michael Timmins says the band’s most recent studio albums reflect upon “empty hearts, empty nests, lost paths, lost lives, and all the reckoning that brings about the end of things”, with  Ghosts  dedicated to processing the loss of the Timmins siblings’ mother who died in 2018.

SONGS OF THE RECOLLECTION , scheduled for a March 11 release is a different collection of songs altogether. Michael Timmins recalls,  “We grew up sitting around the record player listening to each other’s record collections and having our minds blown. This was the passion that we shared. Our goal has always been to create music that took hold of the listener the way that this music took hold of us. These are some of the songs and some of the artists that found their way into our lives and eventually into our repertoire over the past fifty years.”

Cowboy Junkies inadvertently started a revolution when they appeared in the late ‘80s.  The Trinity Session  featured the band’s unforgettable cover of the Velvet Underground’s ‘Sweet Jane’, and combined folk, country, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before. It went on to sell more than a million copies but its influence was broader and deeper. Indeed, the record presaged the subsequent alternative-country movement in the ‘90s and beyond, with its general mood – the album had been recorded in a church with the group performing around a single microphone.

Over subsequent albums the group helped introduce its audience to the work of seminal singer-writers including both Townes Van Zandt and John Prine, and their cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘State Trooper’ helped introduce him to the alternative world.  All the while they were building a canon of similarly pared-down original songs and a catalogue of acclaimed albums to rival those of their favorites.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has remained true to themselves and unlike most long-lasting groups, has never had a break up, endured a line-up change, or taken a hiatus. The group has created a critically acclaimed body of work that has endeared them to an audience unwavering in its loyalty, and which is ripe for discovery by those who may have lost track along the way, or indeed who are new to the group’s many charms. Cowboy Junkies forthcoming tour of Australian and New Zealand will be one the undoubted highlights of post pandemic return to live concerts.

SONGS OF THE RECOLLECTION:

• Five Years (David Bowie)
• Ooh Las Vegas (Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris)
• No Expectations (Rolling Stones)
• Don’t Let It Bring You Down (Neil Young)
• Love In Mind (Neil Young)

Presented by David Roy Williams Entertainment

Cowboy Junkies return to Australia and New Zealand for the first time in 20 years.

Anyone who has followed Cowboy Junkies’ three-decade-long journey knows the band has always remained true to its unique artistic vision.

In 1988, they proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise with its introspective, quiet intensity. Their new album, All That Reckoning , once again gently shakes the listener to wake up. It may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded.

Cowboy Junkies launch 2023 Australian tour and share new album

Canadian alt-country pioneers Cowboy Junkies will return to Australian for the first time in over 20 years in January and February 2023.

The band’s 2020 tour was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now they’ve booked their tickets down under and they’ve got a whole new album to share too.

Anyone who has followed Cowboy Junkies’ three decade-long journey knows the band has always remained true to its unique artistic vision.  In the late 80s, the band proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective.

Cowboy Junkies first found success in 1988 with their second album  The Trinity Session , the quiet and moody album was recorded in a church around a single microphone, and featured their take on  Dreaming My Dreams With You  which turned the country power ballad into a peaceful and reflective ode, plus  Blue Moon Revisited,  and their takes on  I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, Walking After Midnight  and  Sweet Jane. 

Over the next three decades the band released 17 studio albums. They even re-recorded their breakthrough album- heading back to the same church with guests Ryan Adams, Natalie Merchant and Vic Chesnutt.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has remained true to themselves and unlike most long-lasting groups, has never had a break up, endured a line-up change, or taken a hiatus.

The band’s new album  Songs of the Recollection  is scheduled for release on the 11th March 2022, and it’s a collection of covers including songs by David Bowie, The Cure, Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot.

Michael Timmins recalls how in their youth the band members used to play music from their record collections to each other.

“We grew up sitting around the record player listening to each other’s record collections and having our minds blown. This was the passion that we shared. Our goal has always been to create music that took hold of the listener the way that this music took hold of us. These are some of the songs and some of the artists that found their way into our lives and eventually into our repertoire over the past fifty years.”

Featured on the new album is Five Years (David Bowie), Ooh Las Vegas (Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris), No Expectations (Rolling Stones), Don’t Let It Bring You Down (Neil Young), Love In Mind (Neil Young), The Way I Feel (Gordon Lightfoot), I’ve Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You (Bob Dylan), Marathon (Vic Chesnutt) and Seventeen Seconds (The Cure).

The band’s 2023 Australian tour will kick off at Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre on Tuesday 31st January before heading to the Recital Centre in Melbourne on Thursday 2nd February, and then a second Melbourne show the following night at the Athenaeum Theatre, on Sunday 5th February they’ll play the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, before heading to Adelaide for a show at The Gov on Wednesday 8th February.

The tour will have it’s final show on Friday 10th February at Perth’s Astor Theatre.

Tickets are on sale now.

Live Review: Cowboy Junkies @ Melbourne Recital Centre,

“When we started talking about this tour of Australia and New Zealand, I was 58. Now I’m 62."

Outside, a short while before showtime, pedestrians were wincing their way past the rain-lashed windows of the Melbourne Recital Centre, umbrellas inverted. Ubers hissing by in the rain, their prices surging to a height not seen since New Year’s Eve.

Inside the honey-coloured interior though, all is calm. On stage, the band quietly take their seats as the applause dies down, a delicate thrum emerges from the guitar amp and the Cowboy Junkies ease into their set with a cover of Neil Young ’s Don’t Let it Bring You Down . As bassist Alan Anton lurks stage left and guitarist Michael Timmins sits hunched over his electric guitar, his brother Pete busies himself across his many drums and cymbals, the sound elevated in the room, often to the detriment of the band’s greatest asset, the voice of Pete’s older sister Margo. Sitting on a stool next to a small table holding a vase of proteas and a cup of tea, her platinum blonde hair reflecting the lights, as soon as she begins to sing the room audibly relaxes. This is what we came for. 

Behind her sits Jeff Bird, who, as the show progresses, moves adeptly between harmonica, slide guitar, percussion and mandolin, which is usually heavily treated to sound like a heavily distorted electric guitar, a sound jarringly at odds with the experience of watching him play. The band’s decision to play their best-known song second, their cover of Lou Reed ’s Sweet Jane , is a bold move, and one that speaks to the confidence of a band whose lineup has remained unchanged for nearly 40 years.

“The promoter is here tonight,” says Margo Timmins, as the rapturous applause dies down. “When we started talking about this tour of Australia and New Zealand, I was 58. Now I’m 62,” she says, laughing. “What we’re going to try to do tonight is sell records. That’s what we’ve been trying to do for decades now. But first, we’re going to do two sets, the first is songs from the album we were planning to tour four years ago, All This Reckoning , and in the second set, hopefully, we’ll get to a song you came for.” 

The set progresses with emotive folk funk of The Things We Do to Each Other and Missing Children , and a cover of The Rolling Stones ’ No Expectations and David Bowie ’s Five Years , but it’s the subtle signature perfection of their own Dreaming My Dreams of You , from the band’s career-making album The Trinity Session that really shines. Whisper-close vocals, subtle instrumentation and the audience filling the space with silent enthusiasm, it’s everything a fan could hope for.

After a fifteen-minute break, a move that suggests they’ve occupied the spot of their own opening act, the Cowboy Junkies return with the bluesy warble of I Don’t Get It before moving into the opening tracks from their similarly legendary 1990 album The Caution Horses , ‘Cause Cheap Is How I Feel and the magnificent Sun Comes Up, It’s Tuesday Morning . The crowd cheer the opening bars of each and Margo smiles, her warm voice inhabiting the characters of the songs. Women who feel like they could command an Annie Proulx short story or inspire a song by Alvvays.

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

As they begin the psychedelic boogie of Blue Guitar , Margo coughs. She walks to the back of the stage, the rest of the band seemingly oblivious as she stares at the curtain behind them before wandering off. Michael Timmins spirals away on his Telecaster, the band remaining in symmetry. After several minutes Margo Timmins returns to the stage with a cup of tea, dunks the tea bag several times, sips it and returns to her seat before delivering the final verse in spellbinding fashion.

After a brace of acoustic songs that take in another Neil Young cover ( Tired Eyes ) and a stunning, silencing version of Rake by Townes Van Zandt , Margo plays what she calls her “favourite Junkies song, one that makes me cry sometimes”, Bea's Song . Between these, Margo shares stories. One about a St Louis venue so mouldy because of its proximity to the Mississippi River that it was a relief it was washed away. Another about travelling to Chicago to play a concert and crying with a friend because they were going to be 30 years old soon, an impossibly huge number to two women in their late 20s. A third about how dazzling it was to walk in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens this morning and see “such wild birds, and even wilder trees”. "We couldn’t have mornings like this if you didn’t buy tickets and make the promoters happy. So, thank you,” she tells us.

Closing with their majestic Misguided Angel , A Common Disaster (“a song dedicated to my cold”, says Margo) and the dirty, dynamic blues of Walking After Midnight , what really stays with you after a Cowboy Junkies show is the sense of the people in the band. Their set may have largely comprised songs by other people, but when a band has been playing together for so long and played so many shows, the comfort they have with each other, the smoky magnificence of Margo Timmins voice when she draws in close to the microphone, or its power when she throws her head back and delivers a full-throated vibrato that even a cold can’t dull, it’s a reminder of how few bands have played as many gigs as Cowboy Junkies, and how few bands will ever have the opportunity to play even a tenth as many today.

An Evening with Cowboy Junkies to feature career-spanning repertoire from The Trinity Session to All That Reckoning

Canadian alt-country pioneers Cowboy Junkies will return to Australian and New Zealand for the first time in 20 years in May 2020.

Anyone who has followed Cowboy Junkies’ three-decade-long journey knows the band has always remained true to its unique artistic vision. In 1988, they proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise with its introspective, quiet intensity. Their new album, All That Reckoning , once again gently shakes the listener to wake up. It may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, Cowboy Junkies has never had a break-up or taken a hiatus. They’ve never even endured a line-up change. The group has created a critically acclaimed body of work that has endeared them to an audience unwavering in its loyalty, and which is ripe for discovery by those who may have lost track along the way, or indeed who are new to the group’s charms. Their May 2020 tour of Australian and New Zealand will be one the undoubted highlights of the musical year.

Cowboy Junkies are a band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada who formed in 1985. Since debuting, they have released 18 studio albums and become one of the most influential and respected alt-country bands of all time.

The genesis of Cowboy Junkies begins with the dissolution of another band, namely singer and guitarist Michael Timmins and bassist Alan Anton's band Hunger Project. That band came to an end in 1985, but Anton and Timmins still wanted to make music together, so the duo teamed up with Timmins' siblings Margo and Peter in the same year to form a new project that fused country songwriting with a bluesy edge. The band had an abundance of chemistry and so they booked their first concert before even deciding on a name, and as the day drew closer and closer the venue hounded them for something to put on a poster, so spur of the moment, the band decided on Cowboy Junkies. Any band with a name that ludicrous would have to be something special to pull it off, and thankfully, that's exactly what Cowboy Junkies were and still are to this very day.

Rather than going down the established route of signing to a record label, the band decided to form Latent, their own label, in order to release their debut album “Whites Of Earth Now!!” themselves in 1986. The album consisted of eight covers of songs by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Lightnin' Hopkins and only featured one original song from the band entitled “Take Me”, but against all probability, it was still enough to secure the band a major label record deal with RCA, despite the fact that the whole record was recorded on a single microphone. This unusual recording style worked so well for the band that they recorded the entirety of their major label debut “The Trinity Sessions” on a single microphone as well. A risky move, all things considered, but one that paid off immensely when the album became an absolutely enormous hit.

The album was released in 1988, and by the following year it had been certified Platinum in both Canada and the United States. Not bad for an album whose recordings weren't even edited, let alone mixed. Suddenly, the band were one of the hottest acts in the world of indie rock, To this day, they remain one of the most acclaimed acts in alt-country, a band who've collaborated with everyone from Natalie Merchant to Ryan Adams and have a cult following all over the world. For remaining a band that other bands could learn from for over three decades, Cowboy Junkies come highly recommended.

Live reviews

Wow, where to start? i had been a fan of the band since The Trinity Sessions release but had never seen them in concert. I lived in Atlanta in the late '90's and at that time and I heard they were playing in St Louis, so my wife and I went to Saint Louis to see them. Incredible show and then after the show was over, the house lights came on and we saw a small crowd gathering near the stage area. I had no idea that it was Margo and Mike signing autographs and just chatting with the crowd. Needless to say, we went up front and met Margo and Mike and talked with them a bit. That was so kool and neither gave the impression that they were in a rush or hurry to be done for the night. They must have hung out for 20 minutes or so.

As it turns out, they were playing in Atlanta about 2 weeks later. Of course we went to see them again... more prepared; I had most of their CD's so I had them signed by Margo, Mike and Alan. Since then I have seen them at least 4 more times with the two most memorable shows being at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens (this was an outdoor, early evening show) and as luck would have it, the ABG were also having a Chihuly exhibit . Simply a great evening with all the fantastic Chihuly exhibit all around the grounds and the CJ's playing a lot of their well known songs and playing a few songs from their new album "One Soul Now". The next time we saw them was when we lived in Scottsdale, AZ. I heard that the Cowboy Junkies were having a concert in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Road trip!!! The events that made this show so memorable were... visiting the Mission at San Juan Capistrano and the history associated with all of that and the fact that they were playing at the infamous Coach House... a small but great venue for a show. We were quite literally seated at a table in the very front and center of the show... literally 3' from the front of the stage. Taking it all back to my opening line..WOW!

It means a lot that the band is never too busy to talk to their fans following a show. To this very day, if the Cowboy Junkies are playing within 600 miles of where I live, we are going to their show!

Thanks to Margo and her unique voice that I describe as the sound of an angel, Mike for writing most all of the lyrics and music for their songs, Peter for his drum playing (Pete, the little brother), and Alan Anton on bass. Thanks for all of the beautiful music guys and please keep it coming!!

The Cowboy Junkies have an instantly relatable sound to them that comes across when they perform their music live. The band is very skilled at mixing different genres such as country, blues, and rock to create their own brand of sound.

Although the Cowboy Junkies are from Canada, they have a very Americana sound, which draws influence from other Canadian rocker, Neil Young. The lead guitarist and primary songwriter, Michael Timmins, plays rich, open chords on his guitar that create a deep sound. The slide guitar is delicately layered over the long drawn out chords creating a country twang to the music. The Cowboy Junkies are often very fond of the harmonica, which is frequently used and whenever it is played it makes you feel like you are getting serenaded in a saloon in the old west.

The Cowboy Junkies have a name that makes them seem tough and rugged, but their music is actually very pleasing and beautifully presented. Lead singer, Margo Timmins, has the voice of an angel, which is conveyed by her soft, soothing presentation. Her voice is clearly represented in such songs as “Misguided Angels”, which contains a musical platform that really lets Margo’s voice shine. The band jumps back and forth between genres when they perform live. At one moment a mandolin might be featured in a song to create a gentle folk song, and at another moment the organ can be heard roaring over a thumping bass line in such songs as “Miles From Our Home”. The Cowboy Junkies always play an exciting setlist, which encompasses a wide selection from their discography. They have also been known to throw in some cover songs into their setlists by such artists as Vic Chesnutt, Townes Van Zandt, The Velvet Underground, and Neil Young. For years the Cowboy Junkies have been proving themselves to be a delightful and captivating band to see live that can create anything from up tempo country rock songs or beautiful, atmospheric folk ballads.

The appealingly ethereal qualities of alt-country rockers Cowboy Junkies’ sound, which made them so popular in the alte 1980s and ‘90s, are just as haunting and beautiful today. The Canadian quartet, led by female vocalist Margo Timmins, arequite the family affair, with siblings Michael and Peter Timmins on guitar and drums respectively, and long-term friend and member or Michael’s two previous bands Alan Argo playing bass. The intimacy that you might expect from a family band who have been writing music and touring for 30-odd years definitely translates to the Cowboy Junkies’ raw, analog-era material, as well as to their live shows. When I saw them last year at Yoshi’s San Francisco, as part of their ‘Nomad Series’ tour, the intimate atmosphere of the beautiful sit-down venue made this feel like a very special gig, and the quality of their songwriting and musicianship has definitely stood the test of time. With their lilting harmonies and gently visceral guitar riffs on songs like ‘Stranger Here’, ‘Sing In My Meadow’ and ‘Shining Moon’ went down a treat with the crowd, who I could tell were all fellow dedicated fans of the Junkies. For the encore they played their breakout debut success, the cover of the Velvet Underground’s ‘Sweet Jane’, which garnered a huge reaction, as well as a later release, ‘F*** I Hate The Cold’. All in all it was a really enjoyable night of beautiful music, and the rose-bedecked stage setup and Margo’s incredible, definition-eluding vocals really made this show a treat!

I have been listening to Cowboy Junkies since XRT first started playing them. One day I heard they were doing a CD release party for Trinity Sessions after hearing them in studio, and made it to a few song set they played at a local Chicago store.

My schedule and budget have never meshed with them since, until I spent some birthday money my mom sent me in September, and bought tickets to see them 11-21-15 at the Old Town School of Folk Music. I did get a download of a Newport Jazz Fest show of theirs through a membership with Wolfgang's Vault a few years back, and I have listened to that so much I know each and every lyric, and all the between song banter. "We recorded that album in 7 hours and have made a career out of it" and "it's great to be playing here for you at 11:30 am, and we're heading home after a year and a half on the road" are examples.

I only wish I'd bought tickets for both Friday and Saturday evening's performances. The weather was certainly better for Friday's.

It is clear they enjoy what they do, and their audience does as well.

I hope they make a habit of playing multiple nights on all subsequent visits to Chicago. This was also my first performance at OTSoFM. I will be looking for future performances at this venue of performers I like. For me personally, a pretty magical night.

Do yourself a favor and see them if you've never seen them but wanted to. If you have seen them, you already know all of this, but just take every opportunity to do so again and again.

Blues is my ultimate favourite genre of music, so I was very excited to see Cowboy Junkies live who incorporate blues with country music and folk rock. With nearly 20 studio albums, I didn’t know what I was going to hear at the concert, but I knew that whatever it was going to be, I wouldn’t be disappointed.

It turned out that they managed to play a set of almost all of my favourite tracks from over the years, and I knew the words to every single number they bashed out. Margot’s beautiful voice transcended through the audience and caught everyone off guard as her voice hasn’t changed a bit over the years, and it’s even more impressive live. Their music sounds better live than on the recordings, and that can’t be said about many artists these days, so I was extremely impressed.

When they played A Few Simple Words, the crowd erupted into a frenzy of appreciation and excitement – they absolutely nailed it! As well as playing a 90 minute set, the band came back on stage for a brilliant encore which lasted another 15 minutes, and really was the best ending to what was one of my favourite gig’s I’ve ever been to.

Pretty disappointed.

First, their numbers played are vastly so called ‘new songs’ which I never heard of. So stingy on well known songs, I think they only sang like 2-3 songs at the end (including encore). Let’s admit it, this is not Billy Joel or Lou Reed. It’s a mediocre band with strong fan base. We were there to go back time. I would not go to their concert, let alone listen to their music much now.

Secondly, the place, the City Winery, was so cramming, people can hardly turn their bodies. It was just beyond imagination. Ditch the place. Sit like a real person at least and breathe.

Cowboy Junkies were spectacular!!!

Their's is a particular, distinctive sound defined by Margot Timms' voice and the musicianship of the players...

At times they moved easily through the moody sound they're known for, at others they rocked the house with powerful playing on long musical interludes; Ms Timms walked to the rear of the stage, allowing the focus to center on the band and soloists...

A spectacular performance, don't miss them if they come your way...

Saw the show live in Tokyo. Best seats, 10 feet away from Margo. This was unbelievable. Pure emotion, almost brought tears to my eyes. All those beautifull songs, from my Canadian favorite band, with one of my best friend, surrounded of cool Sophiticated Japanese in facinating Tokyo.

What else to say?

Will remember for the rest of my life.

Thanks to my friend Masako for helping me buy the tickets.

Louis from Quebec, Canada

Great show, nice venue. City Winery has great acoustics, it's a very intimate setting. The CJ put on a fantastic show, they are fine musicians and song writers, and their cover of 2 Vic Chestnutt songs was a highlight. Margot's interaction with the audience was enjoyable, her Canadian point of view of our upcoming election was light hearted and funny. I will definitely go see them again.

really a lovely show - only time i've seen junkies live and it was perfect. Margo was very present and fun - she sang beautifully and conversed with the audience. really dug their longer jams - almost The Doors like at times.

huge shoutout to Great American Music Hall for providing such a great, lounge like atmosphere.

Review: Cowboy Junkies @ The Gov (Adelaide)

Late in the set as they are winding down, Cowboy Junkies singer Margo Timmins comments: "I guess why you're here is because you like sad songs. We have two happy songs in our repertoire. We haven't played them in a long time."

Ahead of his band's local tour date, cowboy junkies' michael timmins tells us what to expect.

MARSHALL TWP. – Nobody quite knew how to categorize the Cowboy Junkies when the Toronto band moseyed onto the music scene in 1987.

Descriptors like "lo-fi" and "Americana" hadn't been put into use yet as a catchall for a band blending folk, country and blues melodies, with Cowboy Junkies adding an extra unique touch of hushed vocal dynamics and sparse, emotional instrumentation.

Canadian bands aren't prone to boast, but don't Cowboy Junkies deserve credit for blazing a trail?

"I think if you look at a lot of the trends recently, like the lo-fi thing the Americana thing, we were certainly ahead of that wave," the band's lyricist-guitarist Michael Timmins said. "So, I think we must be influential somewhere along the line, though I have no idea where or to who. I mean, The National just released an album and the one single ("Eucalyptus") namechecks our band, so I guess we're influential somewhere."

Maybe more kudos will come on June 2, when Cowboy Junkies release "Such Ferocious Beauty," the band's first studio album in five years.

"It's funny with albums; you work on them for a long time as a band and a writer, and then you finish them and put them in motion and release them and it's a long process, so by the time you release them they're ancient history to you in some ways," Timmins said in an April 13 phone interview. "But then you have to get familiar with them again to play in live shows."

Cowboy Junkies didn't premiere any of the new songs on the quartet's six-date early April swing through Ohio, Michigan and Illinois.

But fans will get a first taste of the new material when the Cowboy Junkies play a fresh leg of eight U.S. shows including May 4 at Tarrytown Music Hall in Tarrytown, N.Y.; May 5 at City Winery Philadelphia ; May 6 at the Pollak Theatre in West Long Branch, N.J.; and May 9 at Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Marshall Township, Pa.

"Such Ferocious Beauty" sounds like vintage, alt-country, chill Cowboy Junkies, with the most revved up track, "Hard to Build, Easy to Break," suggesting a latent jam-band/Grateful Dead-ish quality.

"Yeah, that has a really nice cool groove to it, and it keeps coming up as a song that we can make a staple of the set; something that we can expand and work on and it'll grow live as we work off that really cool baseline," Timmins said.

Joined in the band by his sister Margo Timmins (vocalist), brother Peter Timmins (drummer) and Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins began writing the new album in the summer of 2020.

Was there a COVID influence to the lyrics?

"We were still under COVID protocol, so I guess in a way, though I wouldn't say there's a direct relationship to it," he said. "There's an element of impermanence to the songs. I suppose COVID brought a sense of impermanence to us all and how our daily routine goes. Though, a bigger aspect is we were dealing with my dad's battle with dementia so that certainly fed into it. And the social construct that was being laid to waste in 2020, so a combination of both those things."

The album's leadoff track, “What I Lost,” reflects on the last several months of the Timmins’ father’s life, and conversations Michael had with his dad in that span, “memories of his flying days as a bush pilot in northern Quebec and his love of jazz and his experiences of seeing the great big bands of the '50s."

An accompanying music video, out now, poignantly shows their father in his final months, interspersed with Super 8 footage from late '50s Montreal, and family films including the kids. The song's most conspicuous line, “This is what I lost,” sung with aching intensity by Margo, becomes more gripping with the realization it's not from the point of view of their father, but from the Timmins siblings themselves, who no longer get to hear their father's tales.

When the Timmins' watch that video, "It's hard, but it's good, rather than dancing around the subject," Michael said. "I think especially with our audience, which is an older audience, a lot of people are going through or have gone through it with their parents or even their partners. So, we feel it's relevant for us to talk about it and share it. As with all things, it's good to talk about it."

Timmins lyrically explored similar territory in 1997 with "Come Calling," a song drawn from the real-life story of an Alzheimer's patient married to the Korean War veteran who ferried supplies to the remote Ontario island where Cowboy Junkies wrote the songs for the acclaimed "Lay It Down" album.

A number of "Lay It Down" tracks, notably "A Common Disaster," remain in Cowboys Junkies' live repertoire.

"It's still one of our favorite records. It was a great period for us, the writing and recording of that album," Timmins said, noting the songs written on that isolated island near Toronto got completed in a five-week span in Athens, Ga., under the production of John Keane, best known for his work with local acts R.E.M., Indigo Girls and Widespread Panic. "He really wanted to focus on just the four core members for that record ― for previous records we had a lot of extra musicians ― so we pared it back down and it came out really well, and 'A Common Disaster' was a pretty big hit. So, it was successful on many levels."

Cowboy Junkies hope for success again with the June release. One standout track, "Hell Is Real," starts gently with chirping insects and lightly strummed acoustic guitar, leading to Margot's almost whispered, cautionary singing, beginning with the line "Hell is here, hell is hot/Jesus is coming, ready or not."

Timmins said, "That song is one of those that can be taken as irony or literal as sung by a character. I'm not really sure what it is yet, but I think the main lines in that song that are real are the refrains, 'I'm scared, and I'm angry,' 'I'm scared, and I'm lonely.' That's actually what the song is about. People are lost in their own little words, whatever those are and whether you can call them hells. That's the hell I'm talking about; finding oneself in a place in the world where you just don't know where you are, and you're scared, you're lost and you just can't figure it out."

Another new song, "Mike Tyson (Here It Comes)," begins with Margo mustering torch-song intensity, singing "Every man has a plan till he's punched in the mouth."

Timmons pulled that line from a Tyson quote, back in the boxing champion's prime, when asked his thoughts on opponents who said they had a plan to defeat him.

"That was a very philosophical quote I thought," Timmons said. "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the nose. That's a great lesson in life. You can plan and design all you want; and say 'Next year I'll do this,' or 'When I'm this old I'll do that,' but when you get punched in the face ― literal or metaphorical ― things change often fast."

Between legs of the tour, Timmins set aside late-April time for fly fishing near Johnsonburg, Elk County and the Clarion River in northwest Pennsylvania.

"That state is a playground for any outdoorsman, but especially for fly fishing it's so amazingly beautiful," Timmins said. "It's fantastic how many state parks you have and that you kept them public."

As true Canadians, the Timmins brothers also still play hockey together. Is Michael the power forward and bass-playing brother Peter the stay-at-home defenseman?

"No stay-at-home, though Pete will play defense. He's more the Paul Coffey type," Timmins said with a laugh.

Having three siblings in the band heightens the telepathy that musical groups develop naturally when together for as long as Cowboy Junkies.

"It's hard to tell the difference between playing together as a band for 35 years and then that telepathy which would happen naturally between brothers and sisters. There is something to be said about that. I think anybody who's been raised with the same backgrounds, values and many of the same memories you share a lot of the unspoken," Timmins said. "On stage, that's important to understand the mood of the other person who's playing; what they're feeling that day, what they're expecting from their instrument and then you can complement it or juxtapose it. I do think that's a big part of us live. And playing together 35 years helps, too."

They'll keep playing and making music history.

Cowboy Junkies are, after all, one of the few bands that can say they earned praise from the notoriously testy alt-rock icon Lou Reed. The Cowboy Junkies' most famous single, off the band's 1988 breakthrough album "The Trinity Session," covered Reed's classic, "Sweet Jane."

"When we first released that record, we did get feedback from him and we used the quote, which sounds corny, but he said something like 'The best, most authentic version of 'Sweet Jane' I ever heard," Timmins said. "When you hear it from Lou Reed it's pretty cool, because he didn't give away praise lightly. Then we met him a couple times and he was really gracious to us and talked about music and the biz. It was great."

Tour Details

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.

While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

This is the least confronting of our tour range. Transport used on the trip is either private or a very comfortable public option, the activities included are usually iconic sites and locations that are not all too confronting.

Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether it's a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, a visit to a local market, a local community, you are sure to have an experience that is very different from what you're used to at home.

The comforts of your home town and the environment you are used to are more of a rarity. Expect some challenging transport options, visits to local sites and areas that don't resemble anything at home.

You're out there in the global community! You are likely to be exposed to the elements, travel in whatever means of transport is available and basically take it as it comes, whatever comes! It can be tough.

Physical Rating

Our physical rating gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

These tours have very limited physical activity. Usually climbing in and out of the transport provided, walking through sites, markets etc included in the itinerary.

These tours have a bit of physical activity but nothing that should challenge you too much. This could be climbing on and off public transport through to a walk through the destination you're travelling in, they can include walking only tours or a combination of walking and transport.

These tours involve a bit of physical activity from walking up and down hills in the destination you're travelling in or the surrounding areas. Climbing on and off local transport or riding a bike up to 30 kms along predominantly flat terrain or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.

These Tours will provide you with some solid physical activity. Whether its bike riding, walking, trekking, kayaking or riding on public transport you will need to have a good level of fitness to enjoy this tour.

Be prepared for some serious physical activity. These tours are our most challenging and involve some serious walking, hiking or bike riding. Can involve step climbs by foot or pedal and some challenging public transport options in the destination you are travelling.

Luxury Rating

Some trips are like a stroll on the beach, while others have you trekking alpine passes. Some of you thrive on camping out on the savannah, while others may prefer a hot shower and a comfortable bed in a lodge. Follow the grading systems below to find the right trip for you.

To help you choose the trip that's right for you, we've broken all of our trips down into four service levels. Measuring the comfort level of the accommodation and transport. So whether you're travelling on a budget and want to save money by using public transport, or prefer upgraded accommodation and are happy to pay a little more, then we have a level for you.

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ reinforces her dedication to Black reclamation — and country music

LOS ANGELES (AP) — First, Beyoncé arrived at the 2024 Grammy Awards in full cowboy regalia — making a statement without saying a word. Then, during the Super Bowl, she dropped two hybrid country songs : “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” All of that heralded her latest album, “Act ll: Cowboy Carter,” out Friday.

As a Black woman reclaiming country music , she stands in opposition to stereotypical associations of the genre with whiteness . “Cowboy Carter” was five years in the making, a direct result of what Beyoncé has called “an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed … and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” most likely a reference to a 2016 CMAs performance that resulted in racist backlash.

Beyoncé’s latest album, “Act ll: Cowboy Carter,” is here.

• Leading up to the release, the superstar singer became the first Black woman to top Billboard’s country music chart .
• After its release, she’ll make an appearance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards to receive its innovator award .
• Beyoncé’s “Act ll: Cowboy Carter” is the follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed “Act I: Renaissance.” Her concert picture, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” ruled the box office .
• The film, which chronicled the massive tour in support of her seventh studio album, perfectly captured her dazzling performances for the big screen, AP’s Jonathan Landrum Jr. wrote .

Fast forward eight years, and last month, she became the first Black woman to ever top Billboard’s country music chart . The “Cowboy Carter” doesn’t shy away from country: the track list has teased potential collaborations with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson and included a mention of the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” a Jim Crow-era network of Black entertainment venues. One song is titled “The Linda Martell Show,” after the performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.

Nevertheless, she declared on social media, “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album” — in 10 words separating herself from the industry while still identifying herself as someone working in and with the genre.

BEYONCÉ, TEXAS AND ‘DADDY LESSONS’

Beyoncé hails from Houston, a city with a rich musical interplay of “blues and country and hip-hop,” says Francesca T. Royster, a DePaul University professor and author of “Black Country Music: Listening for Revolutions.”

“The iconography of Texas as a place of freedom and boldness, those ideas have definitely been part of Beyonce’s ongoing star image,” Royster says.

Houston is also home to the rodeo, the country’s oldest Black trail ride, and Black cowboy culture — in 1800s Texas, one in four cowhands were Black. Royster says Beyoncé has inherited this history by exploring country sounds, as evidenced on the country-zydeco-R&B barnburner “Daddy Lessons” from 2016’s groundbreaking “Lemonade.”

At the time, though, the Recording Academy rejected its inclusion in the Grammys’ country categories . “Daddy Lessons” was also kept off country radio, says Alice Randall, author of “My Black Country” and the first Black woman to write a country No. 1 hit in Trisha Yearwood’s “XXX’s and OOO’s (An American Girl).”

The hybridized approach of “Daddy Lessons” came two years before Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” would raise similar questions of what kind of artists are embraced by the country music industry when they experiment with different styles.

THE 2016 CMAs

If there is a lightning rod country music moment in Beyoncé's career to date, it’s her performance of “Daddy Lessons” at the 2016 Country Music Awards with The Chicks, six days before Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election.

“The CMAs are an important place to stage and test the ways that the genre is willing to collaborate and connect,” says Royster.

The award show regularly welcomes pop musicians to perform alongside country acts in an attempt to reach new audiences — Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton performed together the year prior.

Critics celebrated the powerful performance, but online, Beyoncé was met with racist backlash and some viewers labeled her “anti-American.”

“This was an especially difficult time to perform racial crossing because of the heightened tensions around the election and the unresolved tension of The Chicks,” Royster says.

In 2003, just before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, The Chicks’ Natalie Maines said they were ashamed to be from the same state as then-President George W. Bush. There was immense backlash that “reflected the kind of preferences that country music ended up moving towards in that post-9/11 moment, where country radio shunned The Chicks, stopped playing their music, and instead, played these jingoistic anthems and helped popularize them,” says Amanda Martinez, author of the upcoming “Gone Country: How Nashville Transformed a Music Genre into a Lifestyle Brand.”

When they joined Beyoncé, it was their first time back at the CMAs.

Beyoncé had aligned herself with the Black Lives Matter movement and performed at the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show surrounded by Black dancers in black leather and black berets, reminiscent of the Black Panthers. Some football fans vowed to #BoycottBeyonce.

For Beyoncé and the Chicks — symbols of progressive politics in a traditionally conservative arena — “it was just too much,” says Martinez, who adds that the CMAs were very excited to get Beyoncé, and then quickly changed course, scrubbing any mention of her appearance from social media.

COUNTRY MUSIC IS BLACK MUSIC

If “Lemonade” established Beyoncé's dedication to Black empowerment, and her last album, “Act l: Renaissance” is viewed as an exercise in reclaiming House music, on this album, “she is reclaiming the Black roots of country music,” says Martinez. That’s evidenced in the inclusion of banjoist Rhiannon Giddens , whose music and scholarship highlights the contributions of Black Americans in folk and country.

Martinez sees Beyoncé’s direct predecessors in Martell, The Pointer Sisters and Tina Turner’s 1974 country album — and a present one in up-and-comer Tanner Adell, who sings, “looking like Beyoncé with a lasso,” on her 2023 single “Buckle Bunny.”

“16 Carriages,” which pulls from gospel country and Beyoncé’s own rich ballad repertoire, functions “in conversation with (Johnny Cash’s) ‘16 Tons,’” Randall says.

In Randall’s view, the impossible-to-define origins of country music center on three forms: Celtic ballad storytelling, African influences and evangelical Christianity.

“Country music can’t be country music without Black influences,” she says, pointing out that Hank Williams’ mentor was a Black musician from Alabama named Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne and that the American folk group The Carter Family learned from Lesley Riddle.

Black musicians’ lack of visibility, too, in the genre is a factor for prevailing stereotypes: Martell’s 1970 landmark record “Color Me Country” was incredibly influential and successful — only for her label to divest from her, instead funneling resources into a white performer.

That extends to songwriters as well. “There is a word I use: as a songwriter, you can go ‘incog-negro.’ No one knows you’re Black when they’re listening to a song. I was writing songs about the Black experience, but I was incog-negro,” Randall says, using Charley Pride as an example. “They did not let his audience know he was Black until he was popular.”

Add gender into the equation and “small towns are smaller for Black girls,” she says. “And Music Row is a small town.”

THIS AIN’T A COUNTRY ALBUM, IT’S A BEYONCÉ ALBUM

“Country music has a rigid, centralized power structure that has wielded a lot of power over ‘what country music is,’” says Martinez. Beyoncé is not beholden to those forces.

“Beyoncé is Black, so she can be seen as an outsider,” she says. “But she says, ‘This ain’t a country album.’ I think that this speaks to the distinction between country music as an art form without boundaries, and the industry of country music.”

Randall agrees: “The songs that have been released preserve the best of country and take country to places it has never been.”

“Evolving and preserving is a facet of the genius of Beyoncé,” she says.
