I bought Cowboy Junkies Pale Sun Crescent Moon on the weekend and I'm listening to it for the second time. It's an excellent album, which reminds me of why I like this band so much. One of the nice things is that their music is so difficult to pigeon-hole. It definitely falls into the realms of rock, with tinges of folk, blues and country - I don't want to try any harder than that! Pale Sun Crescent Moon is rockier than some of their other releases, like The Caution Horses, which has more of a country/folk feel. I'm not even going to try to pick any album highlights. It could be that hearing a single song on the radio wouldn't have got my attention, but this album grabs me from start to finish.

I first heard Cowboy Junkies, live at Stubbs BBQ in Austin, Texas, on 6 August 2004 and now, only a month and a half later, I have 8 of their CDs. I like them.
