Title: Another gem from the Junkies
Review: A new release from Cowboy Junkies is always eagerly anticipated, but the "Rarities" collection is a particularly fine CD. It is hard to believe that these tracks did NOT make it on to previous CD's for whatever the reason; there isn't a loser among them. Margo's voice--as always--sounds angelic. The variety of the tracks is another great aspect of this CD. "I Saw Your Shoes" gets the CD off to a rocking start; while the traditional "The Water Is Wide" closes the CD on a melancholy note--but not really, as there is an unlisted eleventh track that also stands out. I must confess: I like this even more than the Junkies last Geffen release. However, as this CD proves, Cowboy Junkies create better, more satifying music than most other groups ever even hope to release. This CD is in my personal top ten.
