In Toronto, the label distributed Cowboy Junkies' first two albums before the band signed with RCA, which re-released ''The Trinity Session'' internationally.

Cowboy Junkies are an alternative country and folk rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1985 by Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer) and Margo Timmins (vocalist).

One Soul Now
''One Soul Now'' is a 2004 album by the Canadian alt-country band Cowboy Junkies. It is their first album of new material since ''Open'' in 2001. It was released on Latent Recordings in Canada, and Zoë Records internationally.

Maybe all men got one big soul ever'body’s a part of." The idea behind ''One Soul Now'' is that everyone is interconnected.

When the band was back home, they looked at all the recording studios, and decided to set up the recording equipment in their rehearsal area, eventually turning their space into a recording studio, The Clubhouse.
