I have loved this song since Joni Mitchell first wrote and recorded it. But; Diana Krall's version is better,much better. Many people have someone, this song applies to; past or present.
I am a huge Joni fan who, unpredictably, does not like "Blue", except for "This Flight Tonight" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard". But this version of "Case" is transformative. Diana Krall's unique piano arrangement brings poignancy to Joni's ill-considered dulcimer folksiness. Joni would have done better to but this one on the piano like Diana so masterfully has.
When I first heard this, I stopped, got up, walked out into the dark living room and listened to it from beginning to end. The only other song I've heard that begins to compare is Kenny Chesney's bluesy little Somewhere With You - both are higher than Mount Everest. The best. The very best. Hats off to song writers and performers who strive for this . . . every day.
first heard this song, watched, whilst in hospital in 2009 after major surgery. it instantly took me away from where i was..what was happenning to me..it was unbelievable surreal moment in my life..and still is..
the first time i ever her this song or even heard of her let along this king of music i was watching sytycd and russell and noelle danced to this. by the end i was tearing up .much as im a hip hopper and love metal i have never felt anything like this before..i mean nothing
such an underrated artist, such brilliant music.

Wow, this is terrible, she sings lazy, I'm not feeling this one at all. Miss "don't have song of you're own" Krall better leave this song alone.

Not many people can cover a Joni Mitchell song with the heart and soul of a goddess like Joni, but damn if Diana doesn't come so very close. ♥
