Joni's words speak through the decades.."You read those books where luxury Comes as a guest to take a slave Books where artists in noble poverty Go like virgins to the grave"
This is from Joni Mitchell's "Hissing of Summer Lawns" in 1975. It's around the time she started growing in other musical directions and lost the mainstream audience. This album, and then "Hejira" a year later are masterpieces that have won growing acclaim since they were misunderstood 30 years ago. You don't have to have a hit to make a really great album.
Sweet version of great a great inspiration. Love joni. Love bjork. Kindred spirits.

wow im amazed at how terrible her version is. bjork seems exactly like the kind of pretentious scumbag joni confronts in the lyrics too.

SOOOO Vespertine, i´m a hue fan of Björk, didn´t like it so much...

That's not a surprise, I think. The idea for a tribute album to Joni came to surface around 2000/2001 and that's the Vespertine era for Björk.
