Whites Off Earth Now!!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whites Off Earth Now!! is a 1986 album by Cowboy Junkies. It was the band's debut album, and is comprised almost entirely of rock and blues covers. Only one song, "Take Me", is an original song by the band.

It establishes the spare country blues sound that took the band to international fame with their next album, 1988's The Trinity Session.

The album was released on Latent Records in 1986, and rereleased internationally on RCA Records in 1991. On December 5, 2006 audiophile label Mobile Fidelity will reissue the album on SACD with a never before released surround sound mix.
