How difficult to do justice to this brilliant song. And how difficult to impress diehard Joni-lovers. And you've done it. Kudos to you. Great choice of material and I hope you go far.
latincheerbear is correct. Joni is a god among female singer/songwriters for voice, lyrics and open tunings! You have a fabulous voice. You could be another Joni if you develop your own style. Try listening to Hem, a local Brooklyn band. I think you have what it takes to be wonderful at least locally. This particular recording doesn't do your vocals justice. Try some real recording equip and let us have it.
"This particular recording doesn´t do your vocals justice" - I agree. Perhaps the lyrics also belong/apply to a later time in life.
Have only recently discovered YouTube (at a later age in life ;) and am amazed at the heartfelt covers, and the individuality and brilliance some display. Listened to one of Lisa4´s earlier covers of JM songs and loved them. Now it´s nighty night from nan and fare the all well. Been sittin´in front of that blasted lap-top for hours.
typically I wouldn't advise anyone to touch the poetry of joni mitchell because messing it upi would be blasphomy, but you are amazing...its hard to speak with that kind of clarity and truthfulness when you didnt write it, only the great interepators can really do it...girl you did it!
really really like your joni covers.... I want to make a few crappy cassette recordings of my favourite songwriter people to enjoy and soak up while i get ideas for new songs. Might just record yours straight to tape deck. some stranger listening to you on his travels.... that sounds a bit bizzare doesn't it? Dave x
good voice, but you need to tune your guitar
