cowboy's lament.
Recorded in Toronto, Ontario's Church of the Holy Trinity on November 27th, 1987. Which no doubt must have felt vaguely like bad news - from the pews - if your name happens to be Alan Anton.
But, my, what acoustics. What an eerie atmosphere of inconsolable loss.
Margo Timmins: vocals; Michael Timmins: guitar; Alan Anton: bass; Peter Timmins: drums.
Originally written and recorded, of course, by the inimitable Hank Williams back in 1949; a #1 position on the Billboard Country Singles chart, four years before his demise in the back seat of a Cadillac.
A cowboy junkie with a bad case of the blues.

Have you checked out Dennishopperschoppers and his moonlit tunes - I saw him last year. Incredible plays drums, guitar and bass - all at the same time. I should be loading up another one Friday.
Interesting. Thanks for the link, PM. This is a new one for me. Great guitar and song titles; I still haven't made my mind up about the vocals. I'll look in on Friday.
