Cowboy Junkies have announced the release of “More Acoustic Junk” on October 24 via Cooking Vinyl. An expanded reissue of their stellar “Acoustic Junk” (2009) record, this album features five new acoustic recordings alongside five tracks from the original album—three of which have been remixed for this compilation—and celebrates the Junkies’ iconic sound in stripped-down form. Pre-order here.
Known for their haunting melodies and introspective songwriting, the band’s acoustic arrangements on this collection showcase the raw beauty and emotional depth that have been at the centre of their individual sound since their inception. The band comprises Margo Timmins (vocals), Michael Timmins (Guitar), Jeff Bird (mandolin, harmonica, bass, percussion), Andy Maize (backup vocals), Josh Finlayson (banjo), and Jaro Czerwinec (accordion). The album was produced, partially recorded, and mixed by Michael Timmins and mastered by Philip Shaw Bova.
All songs written by Michael Timmins, published by Paz Junk Music (North America) and Carthage Music (ROW) except for ‘In My Time Of Need‘ (Ryan Adams, Barland Music) and ‘Tired Eyes‘ (Neil Young, Silver Fiddle Music). Also on October 24, “One Soul Now“, the band’s ninth studio album, will be reissued via Cooking Vinyl, including for the first time on vinyl.
