As the name implies, Cowboy Junkies fabricate music that is emotive, somnolent and infused with a somber, country-tinged sweetness and angst. The purveyors of this unique musical amalgamation are a quartet of Canadians, featuring the synergy of the brothers-and-sister team of Margo (vocals), Peter (drums) and Michael Timmins (guitar), completed. The Caution Horses is the third studio album by the Canadian alt-country band Cowboy Junkies, released in 1990. The first album following their 1988 breakthrough The Trinity Session, The Caution Horses features a more conventional, polished sound than the earlier album's spare, haunting country blues. As a consequence, the album received average reviews from music critics, who said that the. Cowboy Junkies discography and songs: Music profile for Cowboy Junkies, formed 1985. Genres: Alt-Country, Contemporary Folk, Slowcore. Albums include The Trinity Session, Natural Born Killers, and The Caution Horses. The Cowboy Junkies do have some comps out there, too.
