I had the volume turned way down and slowly became aware of what sounded like a mooing cow. I'm totally serious. And I almost always like the Cowboy Junkies.

Not a big fan of this version.
The Mavericks do the best job covering Elvis' version of this song.
Check it out!

Because the word "Cowboy" in the band name wasn't a tip-off. 
 
It's odd that so many people seem to have never heard the Cowboy Junkies do this song before now. Trinity Sessions was what, 25 years ago? (edit: Yes, 1988, but I see that this song wasn't on the vinyl, CD-only. I guess people were still buying vinyl then)

I've never heard this live rendering of the recorded version (also excellent). Thanks for  that RP!
That single guitar bubbling up in the middle is so wonderfully lonely.
The accordion is a nice touch as well.

I know—I've played various forms of resonator guitars and lap steels. I was tweaking Fred about one of the blind spots in his otherwise sterling body of musical appreciation.

Start with "Santo & Johnny - Sleep Walk 1959". The Cowboy Junkies sure did! {#Bananajam}

I like covers to be different to the original (or what's the point of the cover), but I'm struggling with this one.
Maybe it will grow on me?

Holy cow. I usually love the Cowboy Junkies, but this offering is, well, not something I'm looking forward to hearing again any time soon.

I think it is important to rate a song for yourself and not what others think. It is a fact that some songs get played here and are so low rated they never get played again. That is a true democracy and while I know some of my musical tastes really grate with the majority who listen here, I don't mind because the system works well.

Song ratings are designed for the individual to rate how they and only they feel about a song. It is a vote, an individuals choice and has no bearing on anyone else's opinion of a song or their ability to enjoy it. I assure you, if I like or dislike a song I could care less what anyone else thinks of it either way. Ain't got nothing to do with me.{#No} BTW, I despise Margo's voice so the rest of their music is useless to me as long as she is standing out front singing.

I dunno. I like the Junkies but I put this one in the same category as Sinead singing Chiquitita. Sucko-Barfo.

I was looking to see if this was in the RP library, and lo and behold, it is! Never played... It gives me chills just listening to it.
