Cowboy Junkies – Lay It Down (Vinyl)
Not to mention their first album not entirely self-produced, as Michael Timmins shared production duties with the seasoned Athens, GA based producer John Keane, who has worked with 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Vic Chesnutt, Indigo Girls, Taj Mahal, R.E.M., and Widespread Panic, among many others.
Most notably, with Lay It Down, Cowboy Junkies expanded upon their proven penchant for sparse soundscapes by summoning their guitar-heavy rock sensibilities for an all-around more adventurous, invigorated, and multi-textured song suite, relative to their previous efforts.
While Lay It Down is certainly different and more varied in structure than its precursors, it nevertheless contains many of the band’s signature strengths. Namely the symbiotic connection between Margo’s soaring, sublime vocals and her older brother Michael’s superb, evocative lyrics, which, when bolstered by their bandmates’ masterful musicianship, yields songs that examine the human condition with unequivocal grace and beauty. And of course, their fair share of melancholy.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
