Cowboy Junkies: Music Is The Drug - The Podcast

I look forward to every episode & they always deliver interesting stories behind the songs. Listening to Dave, Mike, & Alan also reminds me of one of the core reasons Cowboy Junkies have been my favorite band for over 20 years; they aren’t your run of the mill musicians. They are incredibly intelligent & principled people. Please keep the podcast going. Your fans appreciate hearing songs & stories.

As a long time fan I have heard many of the stories behind the songs because CJ has always shared so much with their audience. This takes it from the concert into the deep dives I do into their albums, old and new. It’s another layer that I never knew I needed until I started listening to this podcast. It’s also a great companion to the book Music is the Drug.” I plan to listen to the entire series on an upcoming overseas flight!

I never review podcasts, though I listen to many hours of them. But this one deserves the time it will take me to write a thoughtful review. Whether you’re a dedicated Llama or a casual listener to Cowboy Junkies, this insightful podcast will give you a new perspective on the band’s music. After listening to the special episode for At the End of Paths Taken I am giving the album another listen with a renewed point of view. Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast.

Based on the first episode, I thought the podcast was just long enough to be interesting. I’m not a fan of marathon podcasts that are filled with pointless banter. This is not that. I think any cowboy junkies fan will find this interesting.
