@@alainlaverdure1674 If it's good enough for Lou Reed himself, it should be good enough for you. This cover is rich and haunting. "Reed himself called the Canadian band’s 1988 version “the best and most authentic version I have ever heard.” It’s a funny word, “authentic,” considering the feel of their version was far from the rockin’ version of Reed’s Underground original. But it’s hard to disagree with him. While the song has been covered by countless artists, from Mott the Hoople to Liz Phair, Gang of Four to R.E.M. to Phish, the Cowboy Junkies give it a romance-in-the-stars lifeblood never before heard in those three simple chords. It’s hushed, tender, angelic and simply gorgeous. It’s where the heart overtakes the mind."

@@bugpalThere's plenty of room for both versions (BTW, the "rocking version" was NOT Velvet underground, but Reed solo - see the incredible live album, Rock & Roll Animal). The original version by VU was actually not far from THIS version, but released while VU were still together. That said, while this particular version is definitely beautiful, it pales next to the sparsity of their studio version. I think it would've been better if they hadn't added the accordion.

This performance by the Cowboy Junkies was certainly impactful. I've listened to them perform this song for hours on end, on repeat.
