Whites Off Earth Now!! - Cowboy Junkies (Flac)

The Junkies\' shimmering 1986 debut immediately catches your attention simply because of the unique concept: a lethargic, languid, country-tinged band interpreting an emotionally intense art form--the blues--with utter detachment. Seven of the nine cuts are blues covers (including three from John Lee Hooker and two from Robert Johnson), with one original and one stark Springsteen cover tossed in for good measure. The formula succeeds magically, thanks to Margo Timmins\'s drowsy, pristine vocals, Michael Timmins\'s gently snapping guitar, Alan Anton\'s quietly rumbling bass, and Peter Timmins\'s soft percussion palette. Whites not only serves as a perfect introduction to the doleful Junkie aesthetic, it somehow makes apathy sound compelling. --Marc Greilsamer Amazon.com

The title is utterly offensive.
I realize this is a collection of Traditional tunes,
but just so you know, whites made the sound before the negro had his fame....Try Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, Dock Boggs, et.cetera, et.cetera.
