Since the platinum success of their seminal release The Trinity Sessions – an album which helped set the stage for the burgeoning Americana roots music movement – Cowboy Junkies have consistently delivered the finest in introspective rock and folk attracting an exceptionally loyal legion of fans. Their music draws together wisdom, passion, skill and insight collected from over 20 years together. Famous for their languid guitars, Margot Timmons’ hauntingly beautiful vocals and eerily hushed melodies, they have sold over 10 million albums world wide. Whether covering The Velvet Underground or dishing out classic originals, Cowboy Junkies provide their audience with a uniquely mesmerizing experience.

      On Friday, June 18, I had the pleasure to experience the Cowboy Junkies at One World Theatre. It was an evening of two firsts. My first concert at One World Theatre and my first Cowboy Junkies concert. Although it was the second show of the evening - an a warm evening indeed - the theatre was packed with adoring fans. The lead singer admitted she was a little wilted and the set was largely comprised of slower, darker songs, but it was still a treat. A painter created an abstract of the flowers that surrounded the lead singer, which caused her to remark that Austin was now the prize winner for flower arrangements. The only downside was the couple, new to Austin, who sat in front of me and talked nonstop throughout the concert. I hate that. Heard an interview the next morning with the Junkies on NPR and learned a lot about the album, Renmen Park, they are promoting. I plan to buy it. Collapse

      This was might first time to One World theater and it was lovely. First time to here Cowboy Junkies too.The first few songs to these 88 year old ears sounded like a bunch of cats in the back yard. But eventually I could hear the singer more, although I couldn't make out the lyrics. Interesting and mysterious music...beautiful theater, lovely evening. Collapse

      As a long time fan of Cowboy Junkies, I was looking forward to this show, especially in the One World theater, Austins most intimate concert venue. I didn't see the first show, but have to agree that the sound check was way off. I couldn't hear the vocals clearly during the first half of the show,and didn't much care for the first songs performed. During her older more familiar songs, and a couple of new ones, Margot's voice was as haunting and eerie as ever, but her voice did seem to lack some energy. I loved watching an painting unfold to completion by the end of show though which was a nice touch from One World Theater. Two shows in a night this time around, might have been too much. I felt a lot of sympathy for Margot. Road tours for any performer must be hard at times, especially for those pushing 50! Collapse

      One World Theater is a great space for an intimate performance event.I'd definitely go there again though this 2nd show by the Cowboy Junkies was not a totally enjoyable experience.At the end of the show,the vocalist described it as gloomy;not upbeat like their first.Having not been to the 1st show,I have to agree it was mournful.Also,I could barely hear the singer.Her voice was hidden under the music.Sound check should have caught this.6-7 songs in,I saw a band member gesture to the soundboard man-resulting in a slight change vocally.Having never heard them before,I could not understand the lyrics except on quieter songs where her soulful voice could be appreciated and the lyrics understood.(The audience appeared to be fans who knew the words--makes for a difference experience.)Most of the time the music was intriguing with harmonica and various instrument combinations; however,sometimes the guitar based sections were just chaotic noise.I did go to their website&listen-I'd add a star.
