A slighter version of 2001`s Best of Cowboy Junkies, this compilation draws from four of their RCA releases (ignoring their first album, Whites Off Earth Now!!, and the band`s admirable late-`90s and early-2000s catalog). Luckily, these earlier albums represent their strongest material, highlighting their lazy drifting melodies and Margo Timmins` sweetly smoldering voice. The nearly silent cover of Neil Young`s "Powderfinger" is offset by the infectious joy of "Anniversary Song," while both are bound by the band`s intimate shuffle and spacious production. While there are better Cowboy Junkies compilations out there, there is not a bad song on this album, making BMG`s Platinum & Gold Collection a fine place for cautious investigators to begin. ~ Zac Johnson
