Volume 17 of the MRDR Master Series features a tremendous show captured in excellent quality of the Cowboy Junkies 2012 stop in Vicenza. Once again MR and his brother do an outstanding job covering this show through both audio and visually with 100's of photos.

The first set puts the focus on their series of thinking outside of the box releases "The Nomad Series", highlights for me are the two beautiful Vic Chestnut tunes from Volume 2, "Supernatural" as opener and "Square Room".

After a short intermission, the second set takes us on a Junkies journey hitting many highlights from their long career. All beautifully performed through Margo's deep calming voice. For me though the show really takes off with the first of two Neil Young tunes "Tired Eyes" and the emotional ride never lets up through Townes Van Zandt's "Lungs", David Wiffen's "Lost My Driving Wheel" (maybe the highlight of the entire night ) to the end with Neil's "Don't Let It Bring Your Down", just a gorgeous set.

As is the case with almsot all MRDR releases we've included a ton of beautiful photos taken during the show and as well as used for the covers.

Lots of the taper friendly Cowboy Junkies Live shows available at archive.org for free download.
