The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies

Today, in not judging an album by the cover (or band name), I was expecting a country record, but this turned out to be closer to blues or folk, with an interesting mix of styles and influences. Save for the first track, the whole album was recorded in one day with no overdubs, using a single microphone set up in a church which lends a unique ambience and live feel to the recording. 

The highlights are a riff on Blue Moon by Elvis and a cover of Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground, with vocals from lead singer Margo Timmins being spine tingling throughout.
