THUNDER ROAD©Cowboy Junkies' versionLyrics not availablePage last updated: 11 Sep 2007Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian country music and alternative rock band, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family: Margo Timmins on vocals, Michael Timmins on guitars, Peter Timmins on drums, and Alan Anton on bass. Margo Timmins told Backstreets Magazine that "all of us are huge Springsteen fans. I've always loved that song [Thunder Road]; It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written." She adds that to her, "'Thunder Road' is a real woman's song. It speaks of aging and losing certain dreams that you might have as a young woman that I don't think young men have. It's just a song I always wanted to sing from my perspective, a woman's perspective." Timmins said the group actually tried to record it several years ago but wasn't satisfied with the results. "I don't think I had the skill to do what I wanted to do with it," she says. "I knew how I wanted to do it but just didn't have the talent yet. So we waited and brought it back. I'm very happy with this take on it; it has a nice balance between the sadness and the beauty I think is part of that song." The group had also released covers of STATE TROOPER and MY FATHER'S HOUSE, and the three songs have been part of the group's live repertoire. The Cowboy Junkies' recording of THUNDER ROAD was released as part of a bonus disc of covers that accompanied their 2004 studio album One Soul Now.
