Late 20th Century Blues

I saw the Cowboy Junkies at a Housing Works show some time ago. They were the third band to play. The first, a local band called LP, or El-P, or something, can be summed up by this one lyric that I remember distinctly through my giggling: "This long dark night of the soul sure is long and dark." The second band was pretty good, but I can't for the life of me remember their name. Then there were the Junkies, who could with one strum of the guitar and one sung word from Margo Timmins [the word could be 'shrubbery', frankly - it wouldn't matter] evoked all the feeling that El-P had earlier stomped on.

Here's a live version of Blue Guitar, which most of the time is my favorite Cowboy Junkies song.
