While the music is characteristically easy to listen to, the songs on “All That Reckoning” are visceral. It also may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded. Whether commenting on the fragile state of the world or on personal relationships, this new collection of songs encourages the listener to take notice. With Cowboy Junkies’ new album, All That Reckoning, the band once again gently shakes the listener to wake up. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80’s. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise - and it was compelling. In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective.
