Pale Sun, Crescent Moon, the fifth studio album from Toronto's Cowboy Junkies, came out in 1993 and turned out to be their last record of new songs for RCA. The lineup was the same as ever: Margo Timmins singing, her brothers Michael on guitar and writing and Peter on drums, and Alan Anton on bass, with guitarist Ken Myhr playing on every track and longtime helper Jeff Bird in the mix.
It's the Junkies' country-folk hush with a bit more grit around the edges, Myhr's guitar adding sting to the slow-burning songs while Margo's voice stays calm at the eye of the storm. "Anniversary Song" is the one people keep coming back to, warm and unhurried, and one of the gentlest things they ever put on tape.
