Latent since scoring a critical and commercial hit with their spare and intentionally soporific second album, 1988's The Trinity Sessions, Canada's Cowboy Junkies have struggled to record another milestone in hazy aural narcotics. Their latest, a mostly covers album, closely revisits the career-making Trinity, as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Richie Havens, George Harrison and U2 all undergo the Junkies' slow and somber treatment -- hushed electric guitars, brushed drums and frontwoman Margo Timmins' husky moans. The exception: John Lennon's "I Don't Want to Be a Soldier" morphs into muted, clumsy hip-hop. It all adds up to a concept album about war that screams with a whisper.
