Ineffective lyrics doom Cowboy Junkies’ LP By John Payne Senior Reporter Cowboy Junkies “The Caution Horses” RCA Few groups have won as much critical acclaim as the Toronto-based Cowboy Junkies. Their debut “Trin ity Session” took Rolling Stone’s Album of the Year Award in 1988, m ixing soft blues, folk and pure coun try twang. The J unkies have followed up with ‘ ‘The Caution Horses,’ ’ and although the rudimentary sounds that make the band so unique still are there, it packs somewhat lessof an emotional punch than their debut. Brothers Michael and Peter Tim mins play guitar and drums, respec tively, providing methodical, under stated backing to sister Margo’s vo cals. Margo Timmins’ vo»ce is sim ply angelic, once again evoking im ages of dead-end relationships and heartache. Her voice is a beautiful tool for story-telling, but “The Caution Horses” falters from time to time when Michael Timmins’ lyrics fail to live up to Margo’s vocals. The result - the Junkies come off sounding a little uninspired. Although “The Trin ity Session” poked along at an equally slow pace, one always got the feeling that the band meant what they were saying. But there seems to be mo merits of insincerity here. Michael Timmins’ lyrics often are cynical, which really doesn’t suit the band. “Cause Cheap is How I Feel,” for instance, tells the story of a dying love affair in rather un-Junkie-like fashion - “I’m searching all the windows for a last minute present/To prove to you that what I said was teal/ For something small and frail and plastic, baby/Cause cheap is how I feel.” The standout track on the album is a somber version of Neil Young’s 4 ‘Powderfinger.” There is something about Margo Timmins’ voice that brings a sense of urgency to the oldest of cover tunes. It is as if these songs are being sung for the very First time. But most of the other songs on “Caution Horses” don’t work as well. The Junkies may have been a little too slow for their own good, and so their trademark sound gets a little repetitive at times. It is doubtful that “The Caution Horses” will have the same appeal that “The Trinity Session” had, simply because it has not achieved the same level of songwriting. Butdon’tblame Margo. Fans of the Cowboy Junkies still can delight in her glorious voice.
