{"product_id":"cowboy-junkies-lay-it-down","title":"Cowboy Junkies - Lay It Down","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery Cowboy Junkies album is a sonic treat, full of gorgeous guitar tones from Michael Timmons, haunting vocals from Margo Timmins, and beautiful arrangements, and 1996's \u003cem\u003eLay it Down\u003c\/em\u003e is no exception. But there is one big difference between this album and it's predecessors: it rocks! And pretty hard, too, particularly on the Crazy Horse-esque Canadian hit \"A Common Disaster,\" \"Just Want to See,\" and the Paisley Underground-style title track. The pared-down quartet line-up accounts for some of this tougher approach; but producer John Keane definitely shaped this album's sound, lending these songs a palpable Athens, GA\/R.E.M. vibe that transports the Junkies out of their customary Americana\/alt-country territory into a more indie-rock feel. \u003cem\u003eLay It Down\u003c\/em\u003e is a mature album, tackling complex themes (\"Come Calling [His Song]\" and \"Come Calling [Her Song]\" tackle the onset of Alzheimer's from the perspective of an elderly afflicted couple) with the confidence of a band at the peak of it's powers. It's long-overdue for a release on LP, and the folks at Real Gone Music are proud to present it on pristine black vinyl inside a jacket and printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
