Margo Timmons of Cowboy Junkies Cowboy Junkies Music to Grow Old and Die to by Jay S. Jacobs It's almost unbelievable that Cowboy Junkies are on a twentieth anniversary tour. That whole time the band has had a core made up of three siblings  –  Margo Timmins (lead vocals), Michael Timmins (guitarist and songwriter), Peter Timmins (drums)  –  and their long-time friend Alan Anton (bassist).

That album was recorded live in one night at an abandoned church and mixed blues, country and rock sensibilities with a hazy, languid, ethereal sound and lead singer Margo Timmins' g
