Cowboy Junkies - 2022 - Songs of the Recollection
Cowboy Junkies - 2022 - Songs of the Recollection @Flac
When the Cowboy Junkies released their first album in 1986, Whites Off Earth Now!!, eight of the nine songs were covers, and their second, the 1988 breakthrough hit The Trinity Session, introduced them to a larger audience with their interpretations of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" and Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight." Recording other people's songs and giving them a sound of their own is deeply ingrained in the Cowboy Junkies' working method, so it's no great surprise that they've chosen to release an album devoted entirely to covers. 2022's Songs of the Recollection features five new recordings of tunes from artists they admire, along with four previously released tracks that appeared on EPs (Vic Chesnutt's "Marathon" and the Cure's "Seventeen Seconds") or tribute albums (Gram Parsons' "Ooh Las Vegas" and Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel"). This is very much in the tradition of what we've come to expect from the Cowboy Junkies in the year 2022, and that is not at all a bad thing.
As a singer, Margo Timmins has learned to adapt her understated murmur to a wide range of moods and melodic frameworks, and she's consistently lovely here, especially in her rueful takes on David Bowie's "Five Years" and Neil Young's "Love in Mind." Guitarist Michael Timmins has a gift for weaving expressive dissonance and electric accents into the folky vibe common to their performances, and the overdriven finale of "Five Years," the sudden showers of fuzz in Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down," and the reverb-enhanced feedback on "Ooh Las Vegas" attest to his status as an unsung hero of noise guitar. And the rhythm section of bassist Alan Anton and drummer Peter Timmins are reliable in their excellence, knowing when to rise and fall with the mood of the songs and giving Margo and Michael just the right sort of musical support.
In many respects, the Cowboy Junkies have changed very little over the course of 35-plus years, but Songs of the Recollection presents that as a virtue. This band have maintained a creative vision that's served them beautifully, and their commitment to the power of dynamics and finding the details of a song by leaving room to ponder the details and textures has led them to write some great material and also find unexplored landscapes in the work of other tunesmiths. Songs of the Recollection captures them doing the latter with grace and intelligence. (AllMusic)

Posts On Vibes😎
Hi just a few quick words, in the future there will be no Flac or Wav posts here on Vibes anymore. In the the future we will only share mp3 albums. Mainly as 320, but sometimes lower bit rate, if we can't find a 320 copy to post.
In the future Flac & Wav posts will only be posted on Vibes Private Club.
I have been thinking about this as well over the last week. We will no longer post anything here on a Sunday, after this Sunday. We will close for two weeks over the Christmas period (I will post from when and to in early December) And will in future close for a month in the Summer during August. I did think maybe 2 months (July & August), but I think one makes more sense.
You're free to ask for re posts but that is down to the original poster, if they wish to re post it or not. But nothing will be re posted if you make an anonymous comment without a name attached, as we don't publish these, sorry.
You can request albums that maybe your missing from your digital collection, but please send these by email to the site address.
4vibessite(at)proton.me just exchange the (at) for @
Please put the artist - album title and year, it makes it easier to find or source a copy if we don't have a copy.
Also in future there will be no posts with link on the posts, all links will be posted in the comments to combat the bots.
There will be more home made compilations here, I post 12X12, and now a Soul Mix, and maybe will start making a Reggae Mix. We make Box Of Vibes as a collective effort between the team members. Any member here is free to share a home made mix of what ever genre they wish. I enjoy compiling them to be honest, and don't take that much time really.
There will no longer be any covers included in my home made comps (12x12 or Soul Mixed or any future comps I may compile) or the Box Of Vibes comps, for me it's all about the music, all the posts require for me is a track list. But if other members want to compile home made comps, they are free to include covers if they so wish.
Cheers Reb😎

2025 - Lila Iké - Treasure Self Love
2025 - Lila Iké - Treasure Self Love @320
Given Lila Iké’s popularity in the reggae music scene, it’s hard to believe the newly released Treasure Self Love is her debut full-length album. Fans have been understandably giddy over the singer since 2020’s The ExPerience EP put her on the path to worldwide stardom. Still, when an artist has so much hype, disappointment can feel inevitable. Thankfully, that’s not the case here, as Treasure Self Love is further proof that Iké is the real deal (not that we needed any).
The album features several notable collaborations, and each of them perfectly amplify Iké’s distinctive talents. Joey Bada$$ brings playful energy to “Fry Plantain,” while Maverick Sabre lends warmth to “All That and More.” Perhaps the most daring track is “He Loves Us Both” with H.E.R., an engaging tune that finds two female powerhouses joining forces in to great success.
For an artist that has quickly been hailed as reggae’s next superstar, Iké also exudes respect for the genre’s trailblazers. Her fantastic cover of Patra’s 1993 classic “Romantic Call” – here called “Romantic” – is a thoughtful nod to dancehall history. Likewise, “Love in a Lovely Way” cleverly intertwines Garnett Silk’s “Place in Your Heart,” managing to be both fresh and nostalgic at the same time.
Throughout Treasure Self Love, Iké blends a variety of influences. Yes, reggae is at the heart of everything, but soul, R&B, and hip hop also factor into her sound. The singer also showcases songwriting talent well beyond her years, displaying strength, vulnerability and power within her lyrics.
During a recent conversation with Grammy.com, Iké described Treasure Self Love as “a journey of learning to love myself, understanding that each and every one of us should be able to treasure ourselves and value ourselves.”
“Every time I make music, every time I get to another level, every time that I’ve ticked off an accomplishment or overcome a particular milestone, it’s just a reminder to just continuously evolve,” she continued, “to continuously work on getting better and especially to just learn myself because you really don’t know what you’re capable of until you do it.”
Treasure Self Love is proof that the journey — and the evolution — was well worth the wait. (The Pier)
