80’s & 90’s Week continues on Archive Drive By with a selection that was actually recorded in the 80’s by Canada’s own, Cowboy Junkies . The band formed in Toronto in 1985 and features the brother/sister duo of Margo Timmins (vocals) and Michael Timmins (lead guitar/songwriter).

The song presented here is called Dust My Broom, which is a Blues standard originally recorded by Robert Johnson in 1936 and later popularized by Elmore James in 1952.

This was recorded live at the now defunct, but legendary Austin club, The Liberty Lunch in 1989.
