Cowboy Junkies cut "Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis)" for The Trinity Session, their second album, recorded on November 27, 1987 inside Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity with the whole band gathered around one microphone. It's a cover and an original at once, a fresh band original folded into the old pop standard "Blue Moon", and the credits pair Margo and Michael Timmins with Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Margo Timmins sings it, and the church does the rest: her voice seems to hang in the air like candle smoke.
The album came out on Latent Recordings in Canada in early 1988 and went worldwide on RCA later that year. For its 20th anniversary the band went back to the same church and remade the whole record as Trinity Revisited.
