    Cowboy Junkies are such an under-rated and/or overlooked band. They've been doing great stuff for a long while now.

      ​@MizMite2002 I honestly don't think they're under rated. Bands like them never have a reputation like say Gordon Lightfoot, but they have intensely loyal fans.

      Nice ! Where can I read more about it ? I'm fan of Velvet Underground & Lou Reed .
      Cowboy Junkies is pretty "new" Acquaintance for me. So I would like to read what Reed said and when&where ? So any "pointers" ?

    Okay, so, after listening to this a couple of times using a good set of headphones, I discovered "flavors," if you will, from each of them. Little things that one might not notice right off the bat but nevertheless are there. Subtle taps by the drummer. Equally subtle enhancements by the guitar; the kinds of little things that really add to the song. Kind of like putting just enough spice in a dish to make it pop without being overwhelming and distracting. Great track by a great band. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

    Lots of people can play this note for note however, when you cover a track you have to bring something to it something different and inspiring. Something to make you're ears pick up and for your brain to take note. Something to stop whatever you are doing and grab your attention. It has to have feeling and sole to it. This cover has the lot.

    Thanks for sharing this Cowboy Junkies video. Brings back fond memories, something like 33 years ago. When I first heard them, remembering how soulful and sublime their sound was - and is. Remembering how the passion and authenticity of their music got me through challenging times. Also, remembering having a crush on Margo back in the day. I remember when I saw them at the Madison Civic Center over 30 years ago, throwing a rose on stage after their final encore song. Thanks for reminding me how special this band is, and how special Margo’s singing prowess is. I’m quite inspired to see them jam in true Junkies form after all these years. Thanks again!
