Cowboy Junkies
I saw the Cowboy Junkies at some small place in NYC in, oh, I don't know, late 80s, maybe 1990. I was with my friend Jeff and some other people and they brought out Tony Bennett to sing a song, totally out of the blue, it was strange. I actually think it was a Bennett cover that the Cowboy Junkies did. They are most known for a cover of Velvet Underground's Sweet Jane and I think are one of the most under appreciated groups of my time. Misguided Angel is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It would make my top ten list of deserted island songs. Outstanding lyrics with soulful female vocals.
I tried to find a good video of the song I like on YouTube, and I came across the music video, a duet with Natalie Merchant, and the Cowboy Junkies doing it live for some TV event. Plus coffee shop remakes. And some homemade picture montages. Ugh. Below is a 40 second clip of the song that I think most accurately captures the song Misguided Angel. Below that is a video for Sweet Jane.
