The Cowboy Junkies é uma banda canadense de rock alternativo, com ênfase folk e country, formada em 1985 em Toronto, Canada, pelos irmãos Michael (guitarra), Peter (bateria) e Margo Timmins (vocal), além de Alan Anton (baixo).
O primeiro álbum da banda, Whites Off Earth, com uma forte inspiração blues, foi gravado na garagem dos Timmins e produzido pelo produtor canadense Peter Moore. Seu lançamendo se deu em 1986, o mesmo ano em que a banda saiu em turnê pelo sul dos Estados Unidos.

I play this clean-tone on my electric, with lots of reverb. All the chords are barre chords.
I couldn't figure out a nice way of writing the rhythm, so I didn't. The verson above is one worked out by me and my vocalist, and i am not too familiar with either the CJ or the VU versions, but this is what we do. I humbly offer it for the acoustic guitar mailing list. (From: "josh ronsen" )
