The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.
None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.

No More My Lord
Lord I'll never turn back, no more
I have found in him
Many resting place
And he has made me glad

Lord I'll never turn back, no more.
Jesus, the man I am looking for
Can you tell me where
He has gone?
Go down, go down
In my flower yard
and perhaps you may find
find him there.
