Such Ferocious Beauty is vintage Cowboy Junkies and another dimension from the lo-fi
Canadian band comprised of, well, family. A tangle of sonic textures, Beauty is a rumination
on aging, losing parents, facing mortality and creating space for one’s life in the midst of the
ruin that comes from merely living. “Mike has never shied away from the darker, harder and
sometimes uglier realities of our human condition,” Margo Timmins explains of the band’s
singular focus, “nor has he shied from its beauty. Thankfully, with one comes the other.”
Cowboy Junkies are an alternative country and folk rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada in 1985 by Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter
Timmins (drummer) and Margo Timmins (vocalist).
The band gained wide recognition with their second studio album, The Trinity Session (1988),
recorded in 1987 at Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again using the
ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz earned them both
critical attention and a strong fan base.
