Cowboy Junkies recorded The Trinity Session in a church for $250

The Trinity Session (1988) was recorded in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto using a single Calrec Ambisonic microphone, captured in one overnight session for about $250. The church’s natural reverb became inseparable from the album’s sound — lending that ghostly quality to Margo Timmins’s whispered vocals that nobody’s ever quite replicated.
