Cowboy Junkies' latest release, Renmin Park, is part one of a three-part series.
*Cowboy Junkies, The Nomad Series Volume 1: Renmin Park
In the magazine Wears the Trousers, Michael Timmins calls Renmin Park "a fictional love story about two people whose two worlds will forever keep them apart. It's a thank you letter to an obscure city and the people who opened up their lives to five very strange strangers. It's a document about a bewilderingly complex culture that is, once again, experiencing a massive upheaval." It's also volume one of a four-part series, which will include a Vic Chesnutt tribute album.

You can stream the full album here. The Junkies' visit to St. Louis this summer, originally set for June 27, hasn't yet been rescheduled.

*Devo, Something for Everybody
