  • Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alternative rock band. The group was formed in Toronto in 1985 by Michael (songwriter, guitarist), Margo (vocalist) and Peter Timmins (drummer), and Alan Anton (bassist). The Junkies first performed publicly at the Beverley Tavern and other clubs in Toronto's Queen Street West, including The Rivoli. Their 1986 debut album, produced by Canadian producer Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired Whites Off Earth Now!!, recorded using an ambisonic microphone in the family garage. The group's fame spread with their second album, The Trinity Session, 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 cult following. The Los Angeles Times named the recording as one of the ten best albums of 1988. The band was nominated for Group of the Year at the Juno Awards in 1990 and 1991. In the early 1990s Margo Timmins was named "one of the fifty most beautiful people in the world" by People Magazine. The group has continued to tour North America, Europe, Japan and Australia with extensive North American and European tours following album releases in 2002 and 2004. In 2008, they released Trinity Revisited in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the original recording of The Trinity Session.
  • Die Cowboy Junkies sind eine kanadische Rockband. Sie gelten als eine stilbildende Band des Alternative Country, der Elemente von Independent-Rock, Punk, Folk und Country enthält. Die Band formiert sich unter anderem aus den drei Geschwistern Timmins. Die Band formierte sich 1985 in Toronto, wobei der Name ursprünglich eher zufällig gewählt wurde. Eines ihrer bekanntesten Alben ist The Trinity Session (1988), aufgenommen am 27. November 1987 mit einem einzigen Mikrofon in der Kirche "Church of Holy Trinity" in Toronto. Neben Eigenkompositionen finden sich darauf u.a. Coverversionen von Sweet Jane und I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. Das Album gilt als stilprägend für den Alternative Country.
  • Cowboy Junkies est un groupe canadien de rock de musique aux consonances country ou folk, formé par les trois frères et sœurs Timmins. Le groupe s'est formé à Toronto en 1985. Le nom a été choisi un peu au hasard, avant leur tout premier concert. Leur disque le plus connu, considéré comme leur chef d'œuvre est The Trinity Session enregistré en live en une seule journée avec un seul micro dans l'église de la Sainte Trinité (Church of the Holy Trinity) de Toronto. De celui-ci est extrait leur reprise de Sweet Jane du The Velvet Underground. Sur scène en plus de leur composition Margo Timmins (27 juin 1961, Montréal) reprend volontiers des titres de Bruce Springsteen ou de Townes Van Zandt. Sa magnifique voix servie par les mélodies du groupe crée une ambiance unique.
  • I Cowboy Junkies sono un gruppo musicale Country e di Alternative rock canadese, composto da tre fratelli che fanno parte della nota famiglia di spettacolo dei Timmins. Un'altra sorella, Cali è stata famosa per aver recitato nella soap opera I Ryan. I fratelli Timmins discendono da Noah Timmins, un prospettore minerario che fondò la città di Timmins nell'Ontario.
