So glad I remember seeing the Cowboy Junkies, at a beautiful old big theater 🎭 in Bellingham, by the border, the Canadian Border, where we went in 1988. Love Neil, love Canada 🇨🇦

The Cowboy Junkies Helpless is the Greatest Love Song ever written. Margo’s voice is Angelic. I find it hard to believe that she is 60 years old and doesn’t look a day over 30 years old.
@elmoblatch97877 жыл бұрын
Michael Timmins is a sneaky good guitar player...he busts out those effects pedals and does that downpick thing that is so HIM...just an extraordinary band that continues to make vital music. It goes without saying that Mr. Timmins is a great lyricist and Margo is a treasure -- one of my favorite voices in all of music. Margo graciously gave me an autograph once as I mumbled some nervous fan nonsense. She touched me on the right shoulder and said, "thank you." I shall never wash that shoulder henceforth.

I've loved Neil all my life, he's painted songs and chords of my life. I have never even heard of the Cowboy Junkies until this evening stumbling on Powder finger and now this. Very few people out perform Neil on his own songs, except perhaps Trio, Prelude but these people - and with her rich voice. Another light has just been turned onto that painting. How could I have missed this for all this time. Truly wonderful.

Not that far-fetched. Canada was a protectorate of the UK and still has the Queen on the money. Liverpool is representative of both working blue collar and the port of departure for tens of thousands if not millions of emigres from Ireland and the UK. Love Neil Young and the Cowboy Junkies!

@@Jumbofreddy They have lots of their own songs, some of which are excellent. But they have a gift of taking other people's great songs and [putting just enough of their own twist on them for their covers that the song somehow becomes their own. In sum ... some of their best stuff IS "covers". They are a spectacular cover band in that they make other's tunes their own rather than just replicate the originals.
