Just to be pedantic, The Caution Horses is their third album, their first
was Whites off Earth Now! which applied their slow introspective style
to the blues (Robert Johnson style).  

Just an addendum (for Vickie), the Timmins family (including Margo, 
Michael & Peter) grew up in Montreal but have lived in Toronto for 
many years including all of their musical careers.
