Gives country a good name.......2007-06-21

Firstly, I recommend this album, whether you like country music or if you're a maturing "rocker" looking to expand your repetoire. For years, when people ask me what kind of music I like, my typical response was "anything but country" (yes, even electronic and hiphop). I never knew if the Cowboy Junkies counted as country, but I really like them and figured that they were as close to country music -- the Dwight Yokam, Toby Keith, Dixie Chicks brand of country -- as I could get. I was turned on to the Junkies a bit retroactively through their "Sweet Jane" cover on the _Natural Born Killers_ soundtrack. Unfortunately, the only song on Caution Horses that compares to that cover is "'cause Cheap is How I Feel," an absolutely wonderful song. There are other good ones, but I agree with another reviewer that the album, especially the second half, trails off in terms of quality and "listenability" as it progresses. Overall, the instrumentation -- slow reverb on guitars, harmonicas, mandolins, acordians, and Margo's sultry voice -- is outstanding; but beware, this entire album is SLOW and, might I add, not particularly ideal for roadtrips, unless you're trying to get a baby to sleep or you're driving through someplace like Tokyo at night and feel like being ironic. For me, after about 4-5 songs, I had to pick up the pace with another album.

very wide,very deep,very worthwhile.......2005-11-26

Introspective,deep,sensitive lyrics and exellent musicianship in a very quiet,seductive package.Margo Timmins' vocals are perfectly recorded and executed. The
songwriting is first rate. This is NOT a "party" album. This is
an experience created with depth and precision for individuals with depth and a love of subtle beauty. This is not like the much heavier,much more electric sound of the CJ's later efforts---this is much closer to the country blues that their sound is rooted in.If you iz looking for
rock n' roll,look elsewhere. This is quiet,quality country blues in it's top form. Completely worthwhile,especially at
the bargin price it is selling for at the time of this writing. (11-26-05)

Margo's favorite?.......2004-04-02

I'm listening to this CD as I write this, and I really like it. As much as Trinity Sessions? Nope, but it is still a great album.

A while ago I heard CJ live in concert. They took questions from the audience, and after a great deal of hemming and hawing, Margo Timmins allowed that this is probably, perhaps, maybe her favorite of their albums. Now, that might just be what popped into her head for that ten minutes, but I thought you might be interested to know anyway.

This album is a flop.......2003-12-08

I had heard that the Caution Horses was a terrible album, but I love the Cowboy Junkies so I thought that there were bound to be some redeeming qualities. There weren't. This album sounds like the band wasn't really interested in making a quality piece of art, but rather wanted to recapture the succcess of the Trinity Sessions without putting in the effort or the love of music which that album so abundantly had. This album was an anomoly, it is a horrible album from a band that has consistently maintained the highest standards of song writing and performance. Any other Cowboy Junkies album will be well worth the price you pay for it, this one isn't worth a nickel.

A wonderful recording from a great band.......2002-07-10

On Caution Horses, the Cowboy Junkies third album, we find the band venturing into country territory. And they do it well. Margo's voice is as sultry and beautiful as ever. The songs are woven together like a collection of sad, short tales.
There is not a weak or bad song on this album. Highlights of the album for me are "Cause Cheep Is How I Feel," "Rock and Bird," "Witches," and "Where Are You Tonight." Their cover of Neil Young's "Powderfinger" is probably the only cover of a Neil Young tune that I can honestly say sounds better than the original.
This is one of those desert island albums that you gotta have.
