This cover made a blind man see beauty. Thanks for my kids typing this for me
Beautiful children💕
❤❤
Give a listen to Buffy Sainte Marie cover.
Bless you, sir. God give you light.
I also choose this guy's kids
Every now and again, someone covers Young's work in a way that makes you appreciate both the original and the cover even more than you did before. This is such a cover. Beautiful.
very nice
Yes siree
Check out Angie Mcmahons cover...
Agree. The version of "After the Gold Rush" by Dolly, Linda, and EmmyLou is superb.
A voice as beautiful as Laura Nyro
I’m not from Canada I simply love this song because my best girlfriend loved it and she passed very young and I still miss her many years later that’s all ❤
Sorry for your loss. Remember her through this song
@@stephenlewin1226 I do and Thankyou hope you had a lovely Christmas and wising you all good things in 2023
@@stephenlewin1226 Hey
She is still with you and will never leave your heart and mind.
Carry on
I drove from Calgary, Alberta, to Sault-St-Marie, Ontario last summer with my family. We weren’t in a hurry and only listened to Canadian legends: lots of Neil Young and Cowboy Junkies. Great country. Great music. Margo has always been my favourite female vocalist. Cowboy Junkies may not be as well known today, but their recent work is at least as good as their classic albums from the late 80s and early 90s.
The things that always strikes me about the Cowboy Junkies is that they aren’t stars. They aren’t prima donnas. They are just regular people, like you and me, who happen to be passionate about making the kind of music they want to make. Not much authenticity left these days, but Cowboy Junkies have it in spades.
@asphotographics - So true. Beautifully stated!💕
I agree......... and I couldn't have said it better. Just a Great band and Great people.....
Ain’t that amazing most of the Canadian legends made it in USA….
Love hurts, but it beats the alternative
Godspeed, and know that you have been taken seriously
Let's give some credit to that awesome accordion playing
A lot of credit ! Amazing , never imagined rocking out to an accordion and I’m 65 yrs never listened to anything but classic rock .
Godspeed to all you out there with the guts to feel it
Really makes this great❣️
I loved their cover of Sweet Jane, but this is on another plane. Shivers.
That accordion.... unbelievably beautiful. The best use of an accordion in 'Rock' music I have ever heard. Sublime, bliss, perfection.
Anything by the Cowboy Junkies is an automatic "like"
Darn Tootin'.
I think it is more than a Cover - this song is a Hommage!
A lovely truth❣️
Wow, What a rendition of a great Neil Young song. So nice to listen to. Thank you so much I am 76 & love it.❤
I don't think I've ever heard an accordion sound so beautiful, mind blown. What an awesome cover, Junkies style.
This is precisely why I listen to a lot of Mexican music- the accordion; I love it! If you want to hear some of the most beautiful Bolero music with an accordion, harp, & voices, then the Veracruz album by Tlen Huicani is the one you should listen to.
Try Sonny Landreth Live in Lafayette. Very good blues accordion, if you can believe it.
this woman could sing the phone book and it would sound great!
Margo Timmons/ Cowboy Junkies Voice is so beautiful. I just love this rendition of Neil Young's song. Absolutely Heavenly.
Thanks for sharing.
Such an underrated voice and band. I've loved Margo's voice since the first time hearing the Junkies cover Sweet Jane in the late 80's.
Love me some Cowboy 🤠 Junkies, the Accordion reminds me of Garth Hudson
I got hooked on them by accident one night when I tuned in the wrong radio station. THAT was back in the 80's! Have loved them ever since.
This song speaks to so many, on so many levels.
❤❤❤
Neil Young, one of the greatest songwriters of all time. And Margo Timmons/Cowboy Junkies covering his songs. Absolute musical heaven.
Well said.
Powderfinger ain’t too shabby either 😉
This voice and band are underrated.
Those who underrate don’t deserve any better so why care?
You are correct.
@@froittjentzen The use of the word underrated is overrated.
@@saginawdan amen i think it every time
and how there was a time when i never heard anyone use it😂
they were greatly listened to in their day
they just might not be as famous now
This band is filled with power and is profoundly underrated. I have been touched so deeply by these guys and I will always be grateful to them for doing what they do.
My heart is breaking because I’m listening to this by myself and I no longer have anyone to share these moments with.
It makes you feel doesn't it?
Hang in there Buddy. Someone will appear. 😊
You shared it with US! You are never alone, send it out to the sky, someone’s always there.
Who is the the singer, Dar Williams? I can’t find the name anyone. Heartfelt!
@Jehannehowru The singer is Margo Timmins from the Cowboy Junkies💕
Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautifully played. Just beautiful.
Yes.
Maple Leaf Margo !
Margo and the Junkies are flawless interpreters, just amazing, then NOW everywhere between..as much as I love NY,, Margo has her way of transforming
I love your words
Couldn't have said it better
Ive always loved this band . Thank you very much.
Im in the hospital,I found out I have lung cancer today. It spread.
This is very soothing.
I am so sorry to hear that. May all go well with you. Glad you had some pleasure on this awful day.
Ive decided to mock cancer. This isnt the first time doom showed up for me.
Ive got more lives than any 2 cats.
Walked my dogs for the first time in a month last night.
I had to sit and rest on the way home.
Stay high friends
@@coolaprilfool1335 I love the way you roll. Take care. Enjoy every moment.
@@coolaprilfool1335 You're up and fighting. That's the spirit!
God Bless you,I lost my Brother lately a sudden heart attack but he went to Canada years ago and came home to Ireland and told me to look up the Cowboy Junkies best advice God Bless him he ever give me.!!!!
Soul to burn beautiful rendition of a classic Neil song!
This sounds so good…that accordion really brings it all home! God bless y’all & safe travels, from Kentucky ✊🏽✌🏽
In these times of trouble and despair this version of this song is therapy to my soul. Beautiful vocals and a silky smooth sound.
Well done
Thank you, Billy❣️
You are so correct
Billy Ray Valentine/Capricorn
We are experiencing some very bad times, this makes it a little easier to navigate.
Seas are rough, hold on my brothers and be kind to each other.
an australain who sits on the ground and loves his bush, this song sinks into my heart, cover or not , got a rello who married a Canadian lass and lives in your place, Ontario, and this song is one of thier favourites.
Stupenda grazie un milione di volte...
Beautiful, haunting and humble. A wonderful testament to Canadian culture of a different time. God bless them.
Wow....not sure how I missed this wonderful group. Geez.
If music moves you we are all from the same place.
I have seen the Cowboy Junkies at least 12 times live over the last 20 years and they have always been absolutely amazing in concert her voice and her brothers guitar playing are spectacular.
WOW Mr. Young would be impressed. God BLESS CANADA.
This is a beautiful song which has deeply touched the hearts of so many people. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song done with more heartfelt emotion even by Neil and he is one of my musical heroes❤️.
How have I never heard of the Cowboy Junkies???!! Brilliant!
This is my favorite cover of this song. The 23rd time I listened to it, I realized the drummer is impeccable. Great song.
I''m going to say it again, because this man is a phenomenal accordion player. I've never heard anything this so amazing and fitting for a song as this. Brother, you are the real deal. I love it! Keep on keeping on. Accordions ROCK!
Accordions are so under rated - I have heard them played in some astonishing music. If I had not seen it, I'd never have believed it! This is super!
Concordo plenamente Joseph!!! O Sanfoneiro ou Gaiteiro é assim chamado no Estado do RS. Quando tiver a oportunidade de conhecer o Brasil e principalmente o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul você vai surpreender que somos um um Estado que carrega as tradições gauchescas e com muita dança e principalmente a gaita sempre e presente em todas as apresentações. Um forte abraço 🇧🇷
My children introduced me to The Trinity Session years ago…any thereby,introduced me to The Cowboy Junkies. Margo Timmons has the most beautiful voice…it is haunting,it is ethereal,it is unequaled,in my opinion by anyone except perhaps Natalie Merchant or Joan Osbourne…happiness ,to me,is being alone ,in my car,singing with her.
This song makes my heart ache.
i never thought i would hear myself say HOLY ACCORDION solo !!!! wow !!! AUSGEZEICHNET !!!
I came across this by chance. Love her voice. She really knows how to convey 'helpless'
This Band deserves so much more!
First time I heard Them,was sweet Jane !
Heavenly. If these folks are ever coming through your town on tour ... i highly recommend you attend. Best $ you'll ever spend.
The entire band is absolutely on fire here. So in sync as a unit, yet so individually brilliant too. Simply magnificent from each of them.
This is the kind of sad, sobering song that the Cowboy Junkies are really great at. I love it.
Mellows me Out and a little in.
Sad , sobering about a homecoming?
About coming home, and the various emotions that come with it.💕
For someone who by her own account was reluctant singer, Margo Timmins proved to be an outstanding, artist with the Cowboy Junkies, with her beautiful, spare voice.
She outdid Neil! Love it!
Fantastic version of a great song/ The drummer is amazing. The vocals are superb.
Ghost notes
Hauntingly beautiful....the entire band... Somehow... So Canadian. Bravo!
Such beauty in a haunting song..just the best tribute to Neil Young’s poetry there can be
Agreed my friend.
Margo and the band just nail this. Beautiful.
This is the most soulful expression of this song that I’ve ever heard.
One day.. One day I hope to get to see CJ live. I have been listening for so many years; thank you for all the music that you have shared with us all.
I have heard a lot of covers of this song, but they have to be the best I've ever heard....
This is a glorious version of an excellent song. Thanks for posting
what a fabulous cover of a fabulous song
Im 20 beats into this cover and already feel my generational superiority. Professionalism in artistic expression, every musical instrument a paintbrush. Ima junkie! ✌️
What a brilliant cover of this song. It is one of my favorite Neil Young songs. In this cover, the harmonic and the accordian provide a haunting aspect in the background that make this cover particularly outstanding, perhaps my favorite version of this song.
Mee too
My brother turned me onto the Junkies sitting around a campfire. I am mesmerized by Margo's voice. Terrific band, just wish I had known about them sooner. Powderfinger just bowled me over
You have the best name Vincent starry night x
@@fionamckinnon1167thanks, not many Vince's out here. Just seen your reply. I hope you are in a warm, loving place

👍 not only Margo and the guitarrists are greatfull, but also the Drummer and the Bassplayer. To deliver a carpet on good music this is essantial. Thank's for that.
Damn they are so good! Misguided Angel is my favorite but this rendition is definitely up there.
Reverent and then some.
I think my favorite from them is the Anniversary Song
My late husband loved Neil Young. Hes been gone 2 years now. He wdve loved this recording.
@Heather L - I am sorry for your loss, but I do believe your late husband is able to listen to Neil Young now anytime he wants to. Thank you for your kind words.💕
Hey, goosebumps all over , this is so haunting....am a Neil Young fan from India
@tusharray - So glad it means a lot to you.💕
I’ve loved the CJ’s ever since I first saw them on Johnny Carson’s show & that’s been many moons ago! ❤
Not sure why this popped up on my feed today. But the algo did me a great favor. I had never heard of the cowboy junkies , listened to 2 songs today. That is a remarkable group of musicians. They will be on my playlist for "date nite".
I saw these beauties in the very early 80s. In a small bar in Brookline. They were like grown children and they killed it. I wondered how such youth could create so much. Respect.
the best rendition of this magical song I've ever heard.
A fabulous cover of one of my favorite songs.
just incredible. she is so perfect
Fantastic 😊
5 Outta Five Minds Blown 👉🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Amazing Margo and her voice. Sweet accordion too
Simply beautiful.
simplicity is sometimes all you need
Cowboy Junkies performing Neil Youngs Helpless is. With a doubt my favorite song. Margo’s voice is angelic. The rest of the Junkies are awesome. Michael and sometimes Margo compose and write some of the greatest songs in the world.
I agree! I just bought their new book.
It’s The Authorized Biography of Cowboy Junkies called MUSIC IS THE DRUG. It’s an amazing book. I highly recommend it❣️
@@blythespirit4077 the song that was on "natural born killers"
@martin pope - Yes, that was
“Sweet Jane” 💕

"WITH a doubt" you said.
Geez, what a voice and what a band. So soulful.
Never gets old. It's our song
@danielcampbell7908 -
Yes, it is our song!
I love the harmonica on this song and have taught many people to play like this
That’s Jeff Byrd, usually the bass guitarist.
Great cover of most wonderful song ever. I first heard in a 4 AM bar in near NorthSide Chicago in must be 1969 when I was 21 and stoned.
Margo and Beth Gibbons are to die for, vocally.
been remembering this band to night .. havent heard them for ages ... this and powderfinger are heart warmingly fantastic ... you can see the emotions floating with the words ...
So late back with such a beautiful vibe
One of the most beautiful reditions of my favorite Neil Young songs! What a voice.
Thank you for freeing the music for those whose love of music is paramount and above copyright infringement. :)
As with all the best music this discovered by accident on TH-cam! just love the performance and musicianship! a new fan!
Most worthy cover. So glad I came across this.
Such a voice! I had the song "If You Were the Woman & I Was the Man" a duet with Margo & John Prine played at my wedding...the Bride & Groom dance song. Just beautiful.
My favorite band of all times! Margo is Queen then and always
To get to my new home, I often have to drive on Ontario street. How can I NOT start singing this iconic song?
Thank you Blythe spirit. I don't know how you can post this great music without commercials, but this is a great collection to add to my library. Peace love and light.
I love this song and this is an exceptional cover.
The accordian, so beautiful. And a voice that needs no backing vocals❤
It takes my breath
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Simply awesome!
A historical song can transcend time by interpretations of other great musicians
Absolutely stunning.
I am not the only one who loves this song.
Aw yeah. Perfect tune for the Junkies to cover. Excellent. Saw them in Charlottesville some years back. Please come back!
the best I've ever heard.
GAWD! I love her voice.
Me too x
Beautiful vocals, very beautiful and moving indeed
That accordion player nailed it 100 %, so gentle
Emotion, timing, poetry, music all in balance. Don't get that a lot. Masterpiece.
@johnlock4275 💕
absolutely the best cover of this song . Thanks for the video
1970 An old villa with bay windows facing East was the perfect place to listen to this.
