Whites Off Earth Now!!

Cowboy Junkies

Electric blues standards slowed to a hypnotic, skeletal crawl. Recorded live around a single microphone, it is a masterclass in tension and hushed intimacy.

1986 · RCA Italiana

A heavy, humid stillness that feels both comforting and deeply unsettled.

Moments Worth Listening For
The skeletal, menacing interpretation of Bruce Springsteen's State Trooper that strips the song to its nervous system.
Margo Timmins' hushed, conspiratorial delivery on Shining Moon that turns a blues standard into a ghost story.
The way the guitar on Crossroads feels like it is physically struggling to move through thick, humid air.
