As soon as I heard that slick, tensionless piano intro I was already shaking my head... so lacking in the otherworldly vibe of Joni's version on Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (before Joni even sings a note the tension and expectation are there, she sets it up so you're waiting for her voice, actually yearning for it, and then it's there. Musical ecstasy: how else to describe it?).
KD Lang is hugely talented but Joni Mitchell is truly in a class by herself.
I love k.d. lang's covers of "Jericho" and "Helpless"; I have to admit I love them better than the originals. It reminds me of how I preferred many of Linda Ronstadt's versions of 'already-beautiful' songs; yes, Linda Ronstadt did some amazing and stunningly-beautiful covers as well... thank you for posting...
