Sweet Jane

Twenty years ago I was introduced to this band by NPR radio.  For the The Trinity Session album the Cowboy Junkies did a cover of the song Blue Moon, a favorite that has been done by many others including Elvis.

This is a cover of the Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground song Sweet Jane.

The Cowboy Junkies do a lot of covers, but with a unique bluesy style that make everything they do the best every. Take a walk on the wild side with Margo Timmins.



Other songs on The Trinity Session are:
  1. Mining for Gold, written by James Gordon
  2. Misguided Angel
  3. Blue Moon Revisited, written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart
  4. I Don't Get It
  5. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, written by the esteemed Hank Williams.
  6. To Love Is To Bury
  7. 200 More Miles, written by Margo's brother Michael Timmins
  8. Dreaming My Dreams With You, written by Allen Reynolds.
  9. Working On A Building, a traditional song, author unknown.
  10. Sweet Jane, written by Lou Reed, who at the time of penning was amongst Andy Warhol's gang of the odd.
  11. Postcard Blues, written by Michael Timmins
  12. Walkin' After Midnight, written by Alan Block and Don Hecht.  This the song that Patsy Cline immortalized.
