Cowboy Junkies: Music Is The Drug - The Podcast Folgen

Having beguiled the world with their first three albums, as Cowboy Junkies approached "Black Eyed Man", they felt it was time to change things up a little, breaking up much of  "The Caution Horses" band, bringing in new musicians, different instruments and a different approach to recording."Southern Rain", the opening song on that album, exemplified that change in style, having a more up-tempo feel, introducing Ken Myhr on guitar and showcasing more of the band's classic rock sensibility than had previously been the case.Michael Timmins and Alan Anton talk us through the writing of the song, the reasons for the change in emphasis, why escape is not so simple after all and reveal just what is the bass player's go-to lick when all else fails..."Music Is The Drug" is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Back in late 1999, we were thinking less about partying and more about whether or not the modern world was going to collapse at midnight on December 31st, ravaged by the Y2K bug. Sean Connery solved that one for us, as Alan Anton points out in this podcast...But the dawning of a new millennium was also time for a little reflection on life, the universe and everything, personally and globally, and that mood was caught perfectly in "Thousand Year Prayer", a song from "Open". A meditation on thankfulness, love, the natural world and the way we've ravaged it, Jimi Hendrix and calling it all a draw with God, Michael Timmins helps us find the way through the song, along with Alan Anton."Music Is The Drug" is available wherever you get your podcasts.

1979 might not seem an obvious episode for a podcast from a band that didn't start until six years later, but it was a pivotal year for Alan Anton and Michael Timmins as they put together their first ever band, Hunger Project. Inspired by the bands that broke through that year - The Cure, Public Image Limited, The Fall, Joy Division and others - Alan Anton talks us through the records he and Mike were listening to that year, how they inspired the to get a band together and how that music still informs Cowboy Junkies today, some 43 years later..."Music Is The Drug" is available wherever you get your podcasts.
