The Cowboy Junkies were something of a family affair, formed by lifelong friends Alan Anton and Michael Timmins, and eventually also featuring Michael's brother Peter on drums, and their sister Margo on vocals.
Margo was originally plagued with shyness, recording her vocals with her back to the rest of the band.
This album was recorded with the band grouped around one microphone in Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity (thus the album's title). The result is a beautiful album of minimalistic, intimate country tracks. A mixture of original tracks and covers ranging from Hank Williams to Lou Reed.
