As I tell Margo and Micheal Timmins at the start of this unedited master tape, it was a total joy for me to meet both members of The Cowboy Junkies because I had loved their music since near enough the start of their careers as makes no difference. I must have played their album The Caution Hores a thousand times and never tired of a single note! Here, they discuss their love of Elvis, particularly his Sun recording Blue Moon which they not only covered but that helped shaped the sound of the band's music. And they discuss their other early influences such as Neil Young and Leonard Cohen - the show is a celebration fo Canada and I am uploading it for my listeners there, in particular - and their own music up as far as 2004. We had a blast and I hope that joy comes across to anyone listening to this podcast. The tape was recorded in a hotel room in Dublin.
