The following is from the liner notes:

My first "original historical song". I owe a lot to the Cowboy Junkies for its endurance. I based it on a traditional British Columbia ballad called "Taku Miners" collected by Phil Thomas in his great book "Songs of the Pacific North West". Tamarack recorded it in 1983 on our "Pleasant Gale" album, and I think it was the first time an original song appeared on our otherwise traditional recordings. When Jeff Bird left the band in 1988 he joined the Cowboy Junkies, and he brought this song with him. Margo Timmins' haunting version of it on the Junkies' famous "Trinity Sessions" album made it a hit, and I have to say that it's paid a lot of bills for me! .... This version features the two of us singing the whole thing together, which was a thrill for me. Recorded live at Tamarack's 15th anniversary concert (see below).

Before the Cowboy Junkies, Michael Timmins and Alan Anton were in Germinal. They had a cassette only release called Germinal 1 and an album called Din (shown here) which was recorded in London, England in April 1984.

Germinal never performed live.

Inside the album jacket was a typewritten letter, reproduced here which provides some additional information on both Germinal and Hunger Project.

Hunger Project
Released 1984
Recorded May 1982

Earlier still Michael and Alan were in a band called Hunger Project, which did play live. They released a 33 7" single after the band had broken up. It's worth noting that Alan Anton played guitar and there was no bass player.
