History has proven that when the world is in flames, it ignites the empathetic artists to siren their words, music, and rhythm, to blanket our society's fury and nurse scorched souls.

Like so often before, they have spun records to drop onto the fighting grounds, with the intent to freeze the frame long enough to momentarily halt the warring world.

Cowboy Junkies are releasing The Wilderness, Volume 4 of The Nomad Series, marking the conclusion of an ambitious schedule of four releases over an 18-month period. The title, The Wilderness, in some odd way defines what these songs were actually "about": fragility, emptiness, loneliness, beauty, chance, loss, desperation, the delicate balancing act that makes up a life Michael Timmins sums up the band's motivation for taking on such a massive project as The Nomad Series quite simply. "The main reason for wanting to do it," he says, "is that, as we steam through our twenty-fifth year, we feel that we have the energy and inspiration to pull it off."
