Joni Mitchell's work has broadened the possibilities for songwriters, erased the borders of what an individual artist can accomplish. Only a few artists have reshaped the awareness of what one person's work can become. Joni has also, with her guitar tunings, opened up musical adventures for so many. I've noticed over the years that a lot of female artists mention Joni as an inspiration, a path finder. She is also a fine painter. This particular song, 'A Case Of You', from the 'Blue' album, is full of feeling, longing, sadness and humour. You can hear it so many ways. I first heard the song on the album, then a few weeks later at the Amchitka benefit concert for Greenpeace where Joni was joined by James Taylor. It's wonderful. DL

  • Please sir, if you have the"case of you" rendition from this same appearance with her doing the Dulcimer and James Taylor the guitar. T'was just fantastic and YouTube had it, but it has since been removed. Would be grateful if you'd post it.

  • @asit1 - Perhaps you refer to the Amchitka concert version of the song. I'll have to leave that to another to upload as, given the work I put into each video, I'm not at the point yet where I'm ready to duplicate the songs I choose. I'm sure it'll appear before long from another source.
