@keisterbunny1 I never thought about that,but it would be one hell of a jam.

Fantastic,of all the bands that have covered Sweet Jane,the Cowboy Junkies did it the best.It's kind of like what Jimi did with Bob's All along the watchtower,they did it their way.Lou Reed must be proud of that.

Live-they are fantastic. I saw them a few years ago and it was a great show. Basically they just played and sang. Possible they are a better live band than studio band

Why Is This Song Only 3:54 Long. This could jam on for hours.

@spankr I agree with you. We listened to them in the '80s in college all the time and knew they were ahead of the curve with their sound.

@lindseyisapimpsta - I'd rather think "UNDERappreciated" ;0)

Cowboy Junkies kinda reminds me of Ani Difranco because they mix Country/Folk Music with Alternative/Indie Rock music and not to mention Margo Timmins sounding just like Ani because of her soft, ethereal, and haunting voice :)



As far as all sorts of groups have recorded this. This is my favorite, and I didn't even know about Cowboy Junkies. they now have a fan. Oh hell yeah. No going back.

Hey, they speeded up the tempo a lot vs. the Trinity Sessions version, & even added lead guitar. But I prefer the slow original. Slow gives the song more emotional impact & drama, imo, leading up to a shivers-down-the-spine emotional climax! Too bad the Junkies couldn't write original songs as good as this Lou cover, & so they peaked at their inception. Maybe they should have specialized in well chosen covers as a career -?
