Cowboy Junkies coming out with a new CD

Got Junk Mail today. Read it, if you like, or just scroll to the end for links to find out more about the CD and to pre-order it. Pre-order it and you also get some free downloads, unless you live in the US because we Americans are so uptight about downloading music and actually living in the current century.



Cowboy Junkies – at the end of paths taken

Hello everyone,

These are always the best emails to send out – the announcement of the imminent release of a new album.

The new album, at the end of paths taken, will be released in to stores on April 17, but you can have it delivered to your doorstep by pre-ordering from the Junk Store(our website).
By pre-ordering you will not only get the album delivered to your door, but you also help us to retain a bigger cut of the pie. Also, by ordering the album before April 17th, we will give to you, as an added bonus, by download, a set of songwriting and production demos from the making of the album. These demos will give you a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of the album. They include some of Michael’s songwriting demos, some alternate versions of songs, string sessions and a whole bunch of other recorded insights in to how the songs arrived at their final form. If you pre-order the CD you will receive with your email receipt a website location and password which will allow you to download the demos on April 17th. Very cool. Very 21st century.

Also, for those of you who have forsaken the hard disc and have gone exclusively to downloading your music, we have a treat for you too. We are about to launch a downloading website (latentrecordings.com) that will be run exclusively by the band. It will contain lots of interesting and exclusive Junkie material as well as music from artists who may not be well known, but who we feel should be heard. You will be able to download the new album from the site and anyone who does so between April 17 and May 1 will also be able to download, for free, the album demos. Unfortunately, if you are a resident of the USA you will not be able to download the new album from us due to restrictions placed on us by our US licensee…but check out the site, there will be plenty of good and interesting music available to you.
