Product Description
As stated by Michael Timmins, The Kennedy Suite took the assassination of John F Kennedy, "an event that had been subsumed and transformed by the American myth making machine, and had infused it with humanity... The songs are filled with acute insights into the human condition, black humor, profanity, moments of pure empathy, historical details, cultural references and self-referential asides. Each song is written from the perspective of someone, real or imagined, that had a connection to the events of Dealy Plaza on November 22, 1963." Written by Scott Garbe, produced by Michael Timmins, and presented by Cowboy Junkies, the album "is an examination of a world changing event and the human toll that the assassination exacted. It is also a cutting look at our present day culture and times which holds up a mirror to the circumstances, people and events of November 22, 1963 and reflects back a strikingly recognizable image, half a century later."

It must be noted that this is not really a Cowboy Junkies CD. They only contribute 1 track to the CD. Still, it is an interesting listen.

Thanks for the warning!

Thanks, Todd. I've clarified the thread title and noted which track is by Cowboy Junkies. Razor & Tie solicited this album as "Presented By Cowboy Junkies", which is probably why Amazon and other retailers have it listed as a Junkies album rather than Various Artists.

I bought it the week it came out and actually like it quite a lot (playing it in the car now). It's an interesting concept- a whole song suite based on the Kennedy assassination. I most likely would not have bought it if it had been advertised as what it is- a group of tracks including only 1 by the Junkies. So, I wanted to warn anyone as to what they were getting in advance. I buy a ton and can afford the occasional mistaken purchase. Others might not take it so kindly.
