On a large field people, cars, trucks, and moving vans stretch for miles. Music blares in all directions. The smell of the barbecue and the sound of beer cans cracking open fills the air. There is laughter, singing, dancing, and fun. Both students and alumni anticipate this October day for months. At the same are time there shouts in the background as friends and family cheer on the Rhody Rams as they the rival challenge Maine Bears.

  • Seasonal Mythologies in the Lyrics of Cowboy Junkies
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, September 2018, Vol. 8, No. 9, 1406-1412 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.09.014 D DAVID PUBLISHING Seasonal Mythologies in the Lyrics of Cowboy Junkies Rick Wallach University of Miami (retired), Coral Gables, Florida, USA In many of his most memorable ballads, Cowboy Junkies lyricist and lead guitarist Michael Timmins combines imagery of seasonal change, of the year, notably of Winter, with religious and mythological references to create richly textured metaphors and analogies of love, loss and anguish. Some of the band’s songs which display these symbolic networks and thematic linkages which we Will consider here are “Winter’s Song,” “’Cause Cheap is How I Feel,” “Crescent Moon,” “First Recollection,” “Sad to See the Season Go,” “Good Friday” and “Ring on the Sill.” We will show that Timmins succeeds not only in rendering vivid tableaux of life in a world where Winter dominates the seasonal round, but also in making those exterior visions, in effect, objective correlatives of the inner lives of the characters of his ballads. Keywords: Canadian rock, progressive rock, ballads, lyrics, poetry, mythlogy, folklore, metaphor Introduction In “Equine Gothic” Jerry Leith Mills famously wrote that truly southern literature had to have a dead mule in it (Mills, 1996, pp. 2-17). As a counterpoint, some years ago, a journalist asked Cowboy Junkies vocalist Margo Timmins what characterized an authentic Canadian national music and she replied, “It would have to have winter in it.”1 Of course. Winter is the essential departure point for any conversation about Michael Timmins’ lyrics, or for that matter, about the artistry of the band he co-founded, Cowboy Junkies.

  • Liz Campanile Public Relations Cowboy Junkies the Wilderness
    Liz Campanile Public Relations Cowboy Junkies The Wilderness The Nomad Series, Volume 4 Artist’s Notes by Michael Timmins: I began work on many of the songs that found their way onto The Wilderness in late 2007 and early 2008, months before my family and I took off for China, the trip that would inspire Renmin Park, the album that would kick off The Nomad Series. Some friends of mine had graciously given me the use of their writers’ retreat, an old crumbling cottage perched high upon the Niagara Escarpment about one hour north of Toronto. I spent several days a month, over the course of that winter, huddled by the enormous woodstove, watching the snow drift and the birds come into the feeders, plunking away on my J200, trying to figure out what direction our next album should take. Some of these songs made it as far as the concert stage, and throughout the spring and summer of 2008 we performed them on tour. But, I could never get a handle on the collection of songs that was beginning to emerge. They never felt part of a single “piece”; I couldn’t figure out what tied them all together and therefore, had no direction to chase them. Without a direction it seemed pointless to try and form them into a defined collection of songs. But then my trip to China intervened and with that came a whole set of new ideas and the preliminary concept for the Nomad Series. From the outset it was determined that many of the songs that we had been working on before China would be set aside until Volume 4.
