I haven't pulled out Trinity Sessions in a long time, but man that used to really be a go-to CD for me, perfect for first thing in the morning, late at night, and any other time I didn't want anything loud and fast. It's like the Kind Of Blue of alt-folk-rock.

I was just listening to Trinity Sessions the other day, just came in here to say To Love Is To Bury is a great song.

pretty sure it's trinity session era. the color has faded from the logotype but there's traces of the reds and blues.

I have that shirt, too! Loved The Trinity Session, and saw them in the summer of '89 on a bill with Elvis Costello, Violent Femmes (last-minute replacement for Lou Reed), and Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. Junkies actually went over surprisingly well in a 40,000-seat outdoor shed.

Didn't realize the Sharon Temple Sessions -- set as the follow-up to The Trinity Sessions and then never released -- ever surfaced. Looking for more, but here's one song from it.

Too mainstream for the alt crowd, too alt for the mainstream

Actually was listening to the first Mojave 3 album on recommendation from elsewhere on ilx and damn if the first song doesn't sound just like /200 more miles/

Not off the mark. New single's good:

The new album is terrific. Her voice is as smooth as ever and the songwriting is top-notch.

Got around to listening to their new covers album Songs Of The Recollection and it's definitely one of the better albums of this type. Stay at least for "Five Years," "No Expectations" & "Don’t Let It Bring You Down." Apparently they have been performing "Seventeen Seconds" for awhile now?

Really digging Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning. Popped up in my youtube feed. Hadn't heard it in years.

Their covers have always been great, will def listen

Oh wow, The Sharon Sessions — one of those mythical lost albums, their scrapped follow-up to The Trinity Session — is suddenly out today.

Strange, I could have sworn I’ve heard those versions before. Couldn’t tell you how though
