Pale Sun, Crescent Moon

Cowboy Junkies

Restraint. Dusty, electric desert-folk that feels like a whispered secret shared between the shadows of a midnight highway.

November 23, 1993 · RCA

A sophisticated, midnight stillness that feels both comforting and slightly ominous.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the electric guitar on Crescent Moon mimics the slow, inevitable pull of a tide.
Margo Timmins' voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper during the floorboard-checking tension of Floorboard Blues.
The sudden, sharp clarity of the harmonica cutting through the murky atmosphere of Cold Tea Blues.
