"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". Sadly due to the success of "The Trinity Session" this equally compelling and at times truly hypnotic album has received far less critical attention over the years. In actuality, this is the electric predecessor to "The Trinity Session" and has far fewer "gimmicks" and much more raw finesse. Take together, these two albums represent a dramatic debut that unfortunately the Cowboy Junkies were not apparently able to maintain before the settled into an adult contemporary version of their former subtle and inspired selves.

The album was released on Latent Recordings in 1986, and rereleased internationally on RCA Records in 1991. On March 27, 2007 audiophile label Mobile Fidelity reissued the album on SACD and high density vinyl.
