FOURTH AND FINAL VOLUME OF “THE NOMAD SERIES" OUT IN MARCH

With the March 2012 release of The Wilderness, Cowboy Junkies complete their four CD collection, “The Nomad Series." The ambitious schedule of four new releases over an 18-month period will be punctuated by a full US tour—see dates below (more to follow). The latest collection of songs follows the critically acclaimed Renmin Park (2010), Demons (2011) and Sing In My Meadow (2011).

Upon the release of the four volumes, plans call for a book that will delve into the character, nature, and inspiration behind each of the albums. It will be published by Whale and Star, the publishing house of the band's friend Enrique Martinez Celaya, a Cuban-American artist whose “Nomad" paintings helped inspire the series. The four CD's are available separately, will be released as a box set in April with a bonus disc, and will be included in the upcoming book.

Michael Timmins sums up the band's motivation for taking on such a massive project 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!"
