One of the two records over a lifetime I remember taking back to the shop. The other was the 12 inch of Resistance by Clock DVA. In both cases I now own the record concerned. I wasn't very well when I bought this but I was young so I went on, even though I was missing someone.
I still relate to Cowboy Junkies. They're not afraid if unpacking emotion and putting it on the plate in front of them on the table. They understand what it means to cover a song and their songs have the languid grace and warmth that make you feel you're in the company of friends and fellow travellers. The light is coming up on the prairie.
