collection spans a number of years and musical styles, performed with a surprising amount of energy considering the Cowboy Junkies' notoriously laid-back style. The song choices epitomize the heart and soul of this band, whose languid, dark tones are rooted as much in rock as they are in traditional country&western music. Vocalist Margo Timmins's wonderful renditions of Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" and Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" are enough to bring the listener to tears; Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil" and John Lee Hooker's "Forgive Me" conjure some funky blues; haunting covers of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper" and the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" transport the listener to completely different terrain. There are plenty of originals as well, including an especially moving version of "Sun Comes Up, Tuesday Morning."--Lorry Fleming

Advantages: Some great songs, some classic Junkies. Disadvantages: A few lemons
CowboyJunkies are a Canadian band consisting of Margo, Michael and Peter Timmins and Alan Anton. Margo is the singer and has an amazing voice, it is hard to classify but I will have a stab. She is a little like a cross between Sarah Mclachlan and Lucinda Williams. Anyhow their music is probably in the alternative country section in music stores.
Miles From Our Home is a mixed album, this band has proved they can be absolutly stunning with the release of Trinity Sessions, but I feel that Miles From Our Home has some great songs but some lemons as well.
The album starts with New Dawn Coming which I think is a weak link for a first song, it tries to be pop but never quiet makes it. I just don`t like the whole feel of the song, the lyrics are commercial and the music is strangley Sundays esque.
I like Blue Guitar, the next ...
Advantages: Money off your shopping Disadvantages: Only for petrol
MilesMore Points
The Morrisons Miles loyalty scheme is available in Wm Morrison Supermarket petrol stations. (And should soon be available in the Safeway stores, now that Morrisons have brought the company)
The Miles card is black and yellow, and in a plastic credit card style. It has a magnetic stripe on the back, and a card number on the front, along with a cryptic picture of a petrol pump, a pound sign, and a shopping trolley. You don't need to register for the card. Just pick one up, and sign the back.
The basic premise of the card, is every time you fill up with fuel, you hand the card into the cashier, and they put points onto the card. For every *litre* you fill up with, you get 15 points. When you reach 4995 points you get given a Five Pound Voucher which you can spend in the store. You cannot use the voucher in ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Morrisons Miles Card
Advantages: For lovers of the film, the period or the music of John Barry. Disadvantages: A bit too easy listening for some
tracks on this CD. However, you have to appreciate that this CD is a true soundtrack to one of the great Hollywood films. It poignantly evokes the period of the late 1960s and early 1970s and retains a nice balance between Barry's more orchestral pieces and the harder psychedelic rock numbers all of which are held between versions of Nilsson's classic song.
The packaging to the CD is a bit of a let down. There should be lyrics at least. What you get is the standard jewel case with a two page booklet containing no film notes and only a small reproduction of the original Midnight Cowboy poster that acts as the cover of the album. There is so much historical background to this film and it would have been nice to have booklet telling some of the stories behind the songs and the movie. Nevertheless, this is still a CD to be highly recommended ...

Album Reviews
Q (1/96, p.143) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this live double CD culled from performances as far apart as Canada in 1986, the Albert Hall in 1992 and Colorado last year suggests hidden depths..." Melody Maker (2/10/96, p.38) - "...200 MORE MILES is the perfect introduction to Cowboy Junkies' somnambulant, sweetly drifting world....whisky-maudlin regret, trailer-park stoicism and vague, easily crushed hopefulness that eventually makes you sick..." NME (2/17/96, p.47) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Occasionally, [they] do break into a funky, honky-tonk canter with the Doors-y rain on the windscreen of Robert Johnson's `Me And The Devil'....But mostly, 200 MILES is dripping with careworn tales of broken lives and broken trucks....everything country should be..."
