El sonido de estos chicos encuentra sus raíces en la tradición country y folk, con matices que hacen del suyo un sonido personalísimo: tempos lentos y letárgicos, lánguidas guitarras, y la evocativa, preciosa voz de Margo Timmins. "Cuando empezamos, nuestro principal objetivo no era durar mucho como grupo, sino que lo hiciera la musica", afirma el compositor y guitarrista Michael Timmins. "Teníamos la esperanza de que nuestra sinceridad se contemplara a través de las canciones".
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Oregon Hill (M. Timmins/Cowboy Junkies) (from the album Black Eyed Man)
(I'm playing this song with a E- E6 -E7 riff through most of the verses. That is, an E, then an E with pinkie added on 2nd fret of 2nd string, then sliding my pinkie up to the 3rd fret. Of course, there may be better way.)
E- E6 -E7 riff The hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee
F#m are makin' love with a little help from STP
AE- E6 -E7 Their women on the porches, comparin' alibis
(E- E6 -E7 riff) Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight Folk in wrecks, confederate caps, if you want some shine well F#mF#m7 you can always find some more
AE- E6 -E7 but what I remember most, is the color of Susie's door
C#mG#AE And Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
EBAm Susie says she's missing me
F#mE- E6 -E7 so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- E6 -E7 riff) A river to the south, to wash away all sin A college to the east of us, to learn where sin begins
F#mF#m7 A graveyard to the west of it all
AE- E6 -E7 The child may soon be lying in it
AE Cause to the north there is a prison,
AE which I've come to call my home
AE but come Monday morning, no country song,
BAE will sing me home again
C#mG#AE Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
EBAmF#mE- E6 -E7 Susie says she's missing me, so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- E6 -E7 riff) Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill the air Sounds like someone made the river F#mF#m7 Sounds like someone being born again
AG#mF#mE- E6 -E7 But me, I'm just lyin' here in Susie's bed
AE Baptists celebrating with praises to the lord
AE Rednecks doin' it with gin
AEBAE Me and Susie, we're just celebrating, the joys of sleepin' in,
F#mAE- E6 -E7 because tomorrow, I'll be home again.
