“Murder Tonight In The Trailer Park” by Cowboy Junkies

"Murder Tonight in the Trailer Park" comes from Black Eyed Man, the fourth Cowboy Junkies studio album, released in 1992, and Michael Timmins both wrote and produced it. Margo Timmins sings, Peter Timmins drums, Alan Anton plays bass and Michael shares guitar duty with Ken Myhr and Tony Quarrington; the band mixed it with Peter Moore.

The album drifted away from the spare country blues of their 1988 record The Trinity Session toward a glossier, more mainstream country rock, and the band changed how they worked to get there. Instead of one session, they recorded over several months, spending three weeks at a time writing and arranging and the final week of each month at Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. Michael wanted to play with shifts in time and tempo; Margo wanted to stretch her range.
