The band – guitarist Michael Timmins, vocalist Margo Timmins, drummer Peter Timmins and bassist Alan Anton – proved with their million-selling 1998 album The Trinity Session that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective.

Combining folk, blues and rock in a way never heard before, its release was like a whisper that cut through the noise, especially the iconic version of Velvet Underground’s ‘Sweet Jane’.

With Songs of the Recollection, Cowboy Junkies turn once again to covers, this time from artists like David Bowie, the Rolling Stones and Neil Young.

Of the new release, Michael Timmins says: ‘Long before we were musicians, we were music fans. This was the passion and experience that we shared. These are some of the songs and some of the artists that have found their way into our lives and repertoire over the past 50 years.’
