Joni Mitchell - Black Crow

[AndrewCookFeltz]

I love all of her phases/periods, but there's something particularly wonderful about her "Turbulent Indigo" period, winning the grammy, getting inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, reuniting with her daughter. The mid 90's were very good to Joni.

[ondrums1]

Love the song....however....The "Shadows and Light" version with Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny if superior musically. IMHO.

[icecreamforcrowhurst]

@ondrums1... exactly what I was thinking.

[canada2love]

Is it just me, or does she have an extra appeal here...?

[TheManray05]

Sigh. Love the Song, Love Joni.  Swoon.

[katiebridget]

saw hern concert twice,she is the real thing...and jaco,whoa one of the greatest bass players ever..

[lessamalta]

I love u Joni

[usergently]

Loving that woman since 1967. Joni I love you.

[MISSION315]

BOUGHT THIS ALBUM WAY BACK, TOP SONG FROM MANY OF JONI`S LIST !!!!!!!!!!

[CloverDealman]

Everyone's playing this music like "yeah this is fuckin' awesome!"

Teases you with the "Amelia" intro - now I"m going to have to go listen to that one too! :)

[rory09]

the only problem with this version when it comes to the bass, is the lack of Jaco's harmonics - they added so much.

[mirandazar]

hejira.....

 my favorite album of hers

[irvpav]

@mirandazar mine also

[soopahsoopah]

there is absolutely no reason to use a 5-string bass on this song. ruined.

[gormarx]

@soopahsoopah You think a 4-string would have sounded better? ROFL

[fleaargento]

@soopahsoopah I don't dislike the 5 string but those things are best for metal and dark weird stuff like that

[tonto4848]

I there is ever one music DVD to have in your collection, it is this one !

Every song & performance is just Joni Mitchell genius !

[Bluesdirections]

Larry Klein is ace.

[Babaziba]

Richard Thompson rocked this at the tribute to Joni that aired on TBS around the time of the orchestral album. Great song!

[maryzhol1]

Maybe it's cause I'm used to Diana Krall's version, I've been listening to it for years, but I prefer Diana's version :)

[darkoanton5]

@maryzhol1 Diana Krall does a fantastic version. Actually when I compare their voices I can see similarities and see why I really like both of them as much as I do. I like the versions with Jaco Pastorious on bass.

[websheldon]

SupernalOne!! I just accidentally thumped down your comment and i was trying to thumb it up and it won't let me undo it! i didn't want you to think i didn't agree because Joni is just.....amazing....she's my all time favourite artist... :-D

[slkypt]

i saw this tour in chicago. it was her, and then bob dylan's band. totally incredible.

[neurofire]

I feel so lucky to have had Joni M. in my musical universe. She gave melody to Yeats - reality to living in LA - and home to her long lost daughter. Joni - you are a total fucking pistolnero! Hola!

[JacoMoRocco]

Love how she's dancing! She's SO lovely

[Bflatblues55]

Does a soul a lot of good to tune in to Joni every so and again; like dancing all the way to and from church.

[SupernalOne]

wow, her face really shows her Indian blood, and gives her a strong anazing beauty - the smoking didn't kill her voice either -- looks like she knows how to rock, too - got away from the folky roots here - she was always into road trips and new men -- artists can seem flakey to talk to sometimes, but that's what it takes to stay tuned in to the creative force - the muse is irrational but essential - Mitchell is like a Muse incarnate - unequalled

[johnwiseman17]

Joni never stopped learning either. Her jazz performances were unbelievable. She did a tour with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Don Alias, and Michael Brecker. the music that they created was otherworldly. This song was included in that set.

[RemedyCabinet]

Hey...the slide table solo in this sounds really like Alan Holdsworth! Kinda shows how good Mr. Holdsworth really is...anyway...great peformance.

[widepass]

@RemedyCabinet

Allan please not Alan

[RemedyCabinet]

@widepass No. I call him Alan. Because I don't care about the extra L. Sometimes...you can even hear it when I say his name.

[LodoGrdzak]

Always liked this one.

[MGTS24]

This is from a concert DVD called Painting With Words and Music by Joni Mitchell
