Great live show here a few years back, hope they come around again.

I had a too-much-baggage-to-stick-with-girlfriend back in college who used to sing cowboy junkies songs to me, and she actually could hold a candle to margo, sweet memories there.

I love it. Reminds me of the Doors and Velvet Underground, but with the voice of a goddess.

she yelled @ me for getting a beer while she was singing, That was in the 80's in Burlington VT never could get past that.-John Prine opened up for them and kicked ass. They were a total let down. Waste of a perfectly good band name

What's so dated about it? I don't understand. It sounds like a real band playing! If that's dated, then the music world is in trouble!

Bass line, rhythm, vocals... will your band do better?

In the least, lay it down, so we may enjoy, as we do with CJ.

Oh so pleasurable, wait, I'm coming now...

Hey, this is a great song. I grabbed a whole concert of theirs off Archive.org a while back and was pleasantly surprised by them, the name had kept me away for ages...

What no Cowboy Junkies haters out there today. Usually a mini flood of disgrutled listeners. Anyway I like them just fine, great atmospheric sound

You should hear this in concert then - expanded to a 10 minute tune with plenty of excellent guitar work.

FANTASTIC! Surprised . . . . Would never have expected such a song from a band with this name. Maybe it appeals to all JA fans. :o :D

Nice segue from Morning Dew.
LOVE them Junkies!
This is still one of the best tracks they've recorded, off one of their best albums to date.
The guitar solo is lovely on headphones.
