“The Cowboy Junkies influence is apparent throughout this re-imaging of their finest album … The night’s magic is in the symbiosis of the performers. Misguided Angel swings like a dyspeptic waltz, Hank Williams’s I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry goes beyond sadness to regret and despair, whilst Sweet Jane is heartbreaking enough to bring tears to the eyes.” – “Tonight the Albert Hall is as hushed as the Church of the Holy Trinity must have been. During a song as tender and ethereal as Blue Moon Revisited, you feel that even to exhale too loudly would break the spell. The music is sumptuous yet understated, every brushed snare or lonesome harmonica placed as precisely as a calligrapher’s pen stroke … Overwhelmingly gorgeous.”– “Stunning, celebrating the original without having attempting to recreate it … Let’s hope the Cowboy Junkies are still around to revisit the Trinity Session in twenty years time. These timeless songs deserve nothing less.” – “A mesmerizing show ... The Timmons family are in possession of some unique talent and undoubtedly their cult status will continue to grow on the back of a spine-chilling performance such as this.” – “Spellbinding” - The Times (live review) **** “One of the highlights of this years Don’t Look Back Season” – Trinity Revisited Reviews “(Trinity Revisited) … reworks the original to quietly devastating effect” - “The slow, hypnotic, bluesy groove of the music the band played live in the Church of the Holy Trinity connected with a lot of people, including Lou Reed, who proclaimed their version of Sweet Jane the best he’d heard. Nearly 20 years later, they returned to the church (with Ryan Adams, Vic Chesnutt and Natalie Merchant) to reinterpret the songs. It’s still magic, and the guest stars bring enough variety to make Trinity Revisited complement, rather than just replicate, the original.” – |
