Cowboy Junkies' sixth album finds the band reclaiming the jazz-tinged, ethereal mood-rock that is their forte. Margo Timmins' pensive soprano suits her brother Michael's mostly somber songs to a tee on this fine collection. The album's hushed recording style enhances the up-tempo material as well; the results can be almost Stones-y in spots. In fact, much of LAY IT DOWN's allure can be credited to the reemergence of Michael Timmins' guitar work as a prominent force within the group. He plays in a stripped down style that's both funky and reserved, always appropriate for the song's setting. LAY IT DOWN, the band's first release for Geffen Records, is evidence of the Cowboy Junkies' return to form.
Industry Reviews
...Margo Timmins and company continue to craft the eerily hushed folk-rock that sounds so right late at night and inspires goosebumps in the daytime...

4 Stars - Excellent - ...their starkest, most vital album since 1988's...TRINITY SESSION...reintroduced room atmospherics to rock production...
