What an honor to hear the Cowboy Junkies for the first time in such an intimate venue. It was the perfect pairing of the band's bluesy folk and sometimes hard rockin' style under the rafters of the Carriage House at Montalvo. I was blown away by Margo's voice which hasn't waned since I first heard it in The Trinity Sessions. The instruments rocked and hearing the harmonica wailing out Misguided Angel was the highlight of the night. The first set, all new stuff from the Nomad Series, was true poetry. Fairytale, We Are The Selfish Ones, and Damaged From The Start - from Wilderness, Volume 4, echoed and sank in deep. Another highlight, meeting Margo in the after crowd, like meeting an old friend. The Cowboy Junkies still hit the spot!
