Career[]
Cowboy Junkies were formed in 1986 and performed mainly in the Toronto-area club scene. Their 1986 debut album, Whites Off Earth Now!!, was mainly covers of classic blues/country tracks. Their second album, 1988's The Trinity Session, was well received internationally and featured "Misguided Angel", a cover of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane", and covers of such country classics as "Walkin' After Midnight" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". Though the band had success with The Trinity Session, none of their albums since (15 since 1988) were hits outside the US, but the band has a loyal following in Canada and continues to tour throughout their native land.
