Nice cover
a day without the cowboy junkies is a lost day
The one guy Dylan considered a direct competitor during the folk days. Americans are generally ignorant of Lightfoot’s body of fabulous work since he stayed in his Canadian homeland.
Floor Jansen singing the phone book (in Dutch) Floor also has a most beautiful voice. Proabably the best singer on the planet. to be honest.
Oh and agree Margo is lovely to listen to, as well.

She could sing the telephone book and I'd give it an 8. 
pass.

Nice cover. Didn't know this was a Lightfoot song.
Fotheringay does my favorite version of this song played on RP

Triple win. Lightfoot has always been amazing. Had no idea it was a GL song and the Cowboy Junkies took it and flew. What's even better is now I know about Fotheringay. HUGE fan of Nick Drake/ production value of Island Records and the impact of Fairport Convention. This band opens up a whole new chapter I have the pleasure of listening to! but I digress, let's get back to the song. Added to the perma-playlist. Solid work Mr Gordon.
Very nice take on this song, but I prefer the Fotheringay version.
Like others here, I am familiar with the Fotheringay version first. Yet this is somewhat spectacular in it's inimitable downbeat way. Vive la Canada!
Gorgeous writing, Mr Lightfoot.

They knock this outta the ball-park.
I only knew the Fotheringay version and although not well-versed with Lightfoot's work beyond those that received airplay decades go, this is a very vice surprise.

Great cover version - not trying to simply replicate the original.
Marvellous - Junkies and Lightfoot all in one song.
This is a much rawer sound I'm used to with this group. Nice.
