5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COWBOY JUNKIES COLLECTION.......2004-02-11

If you are just discovering Cowboy Junkies, this is a great CD to start with. If you are already a fan, it's a superior collection of thier best cuts. Also, you should know that the Cowboy Junkies in general are like a fine aging wine...subtle, soft, but intense...the more you play them, the better they get. Listen to this one over and over, and ENJOY!!!

4 out of 5 stars The better "Best of"........2003-05-07

This is a wonderful introduction to a great band. It has something from all their releases up until 1995. I believe this was an import until recently. Songs like "Misguided Angel", "Southern Rain", "A Common Disaster", and "Driving Wheel", all on one cd. Also excellent covers of "Sweet Jane" (Velvet Underground), and "Powderfinger" (Neil Young). The other "Best of" is also quite good, even though the band had nothing to do with it's release. Of course their albums are all enjoyable too, like "Black-Eyed Man", and the classic "The Trinity Session".

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Pleasure.......2001-07-12

The Cowboy Junkies have always personified the emotional musical experience that stirs in the bottom of your "soul well". This compilation is your bucket. Take a listen, and you will be guided to the light of Michael Timmons' talent. Even the cover of "Powderfinger", by Neil Young, contains an original interpretation of lyrics and music that span the divide of here and ever after. It will not dissapoint the open minded that are willing to go further.

5 out of 5 stars Stellar Studio Classics.......2001-04-02

This cd is a magnificient hour-long collection of great music from the peerless & unique Cowboy Junkies. The selections (covering tracks from the six studio albums through 1995's "Lay it Down") are presented chronologically and provide the listener the opportunity to experience the growth of the band through the years (not that any growth was really needed). From the early "Shining Moon", the classic "Misguided Angel", to an unreleased 6+ minute studio version of "Lost My Driving Wheel", these songs are literate (Michael Timmins is one of the great songwriters of the past 10 years) and sung with such sultry passion you will be gasping for air. For the unitiated, this is a great place to start your Cowboy Junkies' collection. And for those already familiar with the great Canadian band, this cd provides the perfect summary of their first ten years! Buy it!

5 out of 5 stars COMPILATION ONE.......2000-12-25

I've always thought that a good compilation should present the songs I would have chosen if I had to produce the CD. And it's obviously the case with Cowboy Junkies's STUDIO : SELECTED RECORDINGS 1986-1995. Each one of the 14 songs is a favorite of mine.

"Sweet Jane", "Blue Moon" and "Powderfinger" are exceptional versions of classics and the Michaël Timmins compositions presented in STUDIO are achievements in the canadian author-composer's career. There is only one until then unrecorded song "Lost my driving wheel" ; only a live version of this song was available on the precedent album of the Junkies : 200 MORE MILES.

So this compilation should rejoice the CJ fan as well as the curious listener in search of original music. After a few listenings, he will soon order the whole musical production of this first-rate band.
