Review

For 20 years the Cowboy Junkies have created bluesy hypnotic spells while eschewing the expected forms of the genre. Taking their cues from the pre-Chicago, pre-electric blues of the Mississippi Delta, they've drawn from the resonance of solitary, acoustic performers in spreading the sound over an ensemble while not cluttering the sound in the least. This set's title includes a word they've used before: "home" (Miles from Home, 1998). It embodies a sensibility that is reflected in the band's success at maintaining a stance consistent with how they've presented themselves over the course of their career. Michael Timmins's songs have always been perfectly suited to the voice of his sister Margo. At their most spare, as on "Misguided Angel," his guitar and her singing manage to imply vast expanses and layered intricacies. Recorded at the end of their 2004 tour, this CD and DVD release is a testament to a band who can play songs from the earliest years of their catalog and never be on automatic pilot. A rare and wonderful thing indeed: the Cowboy Junkies have found out how to not get lost in their own legacy. --David GreenbergerRecorded and filmed at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in England at the end of their 2004 tour, Long Journey Home is one of the strongest performances the Cowboy Junkies have ever put on tape. The album and DVD feature stunning renditions of Junkies classics such as "Sweet Jane" and "Misguided Angel" along with recent favorites like "Notes Falling Slow" and "He Will Call You Baby," plus several inspired cover songs, including a sublime version of Neil Young's "Helpless." Long Journey Home is a testament to why the Cowboy Junkies have remained one of the most original and important bands of the past 20 years. DVD audio options include Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound.
