Wednesday, February 15, 2012: Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane

Lots of Canadians this week on CSOTD. Which is always a good thing.

Yesterday we had Canadian Singer-Songwriters Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet (AKA "Whitehorse"), and for today is Toronto based alternative country/blues/folk rock band Cowboy Junkies.

From their 1988 album, The Trinity Sessions, this entire album was recorded at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity on November 27, 1987, with the band circled around a single microphone.

It was a $9,000 Calrec Ambisonic Microphone, not some Radio Shack special, mind you, but that's still amazing nonetheless.

Channeling the spirit (and the music) of the Velvet Underground, here's the coolest of cool covers for your hump day.

Enjoy.
