The Trinity Session

Recorded around a single microphone in a Toronto church. A skeletal, reverb-drenched masterpiece of late-night folk and hushed country blues.

November 15, 1988 · RCA Records Label

A profound, hushed intimacy that feels both ghostly and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For

The chilling a cappella opening of Mining for Gold where the natural church acoustics swallow Margo's voice.

The way the drums enter with a muffled, heartbeat-like thud on the slow-burn cover of Sweet Jane.

The haunting transition in Blue Moon Revisited where the pop standard dissolves into a ghostly original melody.

Where This Album Departs

How does The Trinity Session sound next to the rest of Cowboy Junkies's catalogue?

Cathedral+3.6σ

Cathedral saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
