The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Cowboy Junkies
(chris etheridge & gram parsons)
You may be sweet and nice
But that won't keep you warm at night
'cause i'm the one who showed you how
To do the things you're doing now
He may feel all your charms
He may hold you in his arms
But i'm the one who let you in
I was right beside you then
Once upon a time you let me feel you deep inside
And nobody knew and nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried?
I'm your toy, i'm your ol' boy
And i don't want no one but you to love me
No, i wouldn't lie
You know i'm not that kind of guy
