    @Scott Asay KC's voice and performances are super fine but didn't write her own songs. Joni pioneered a new way of tuning a guitar to get the emotion needed for her music to match the lyrics she wrote! She is expert at playing at least 4 different instruments. Its a whole different category, really.

    I tend to be into harder rock, metal, etc. but Joni is something else. If all she ever did was write, she would still be one of the greatest lyricists ever. But then you throw in incredibly innovative guitar playing and tunings, and the voice of an angel. Oh and she’s a killer pianist, dulcimer player... What can’t she do at an elite level? It doesn’t get much better than Joni.

    Scott Asay If it’s just on straight vocals, I give an edge to Karen Carpenter. Karen a great drummer also, and Joni plays multiple instruments extremely well so that’s kind of a wash I guess. But where Joni gets the edge for me most is that she wrote all of her own songs, is considered one of the best lyricists of all time, and was always pushing the envelope of creating new styles and sounds in future albums. Also, the fact that she was so innovative of an instrumentalist. She invented new tunings for guitars, etc.

    Scott Asay I personally don’t judge an artist by hits. How many high charting hits did Jimi Hendrix have? I’m 39. Certainly haven’t listened to every song, but I know the Carpenters were cutting songs often written by others, and they were trying to write pop hits. Joni Mitchell never had radio hits as a goal. She often made music knowing it would not appeal to the charts. Joni wrote and produced essentially 100% of her own material, and Karen’s hits mostly were written by Bacharach or other writers. Having said all the, again I do think Karen Carpenter is one of the very best vocalists that ever lived.

    @Scott Asay 'Gotta throw my 2 cents in here: Hits, schmidts. Who cares? Hits, basically, are the lowest common denominator. They're the songs that are sufficiently dummied down as to be easy listening for the easily confused. They're Kenny G, not John Coltrane. The most requested songs are usually the chaff; if you want the real gold, the real artistry, skip the hits and listen to what the DJs never play.

    So glad you played Joni. Not only the voice, the lyrics, but she is the best guitar player/song writer that literally ever was. She pioneered unique guitar tuning styles to get the emotion from the music she wanted. And she taught herself how to do it! Completely an original. I believe she may be from another planet from a superior species. Why this diva deity agreed to come down to earth and grace us mere mortals, I'll never know. Well...guess she needed the heartbreak to churn out the magical music.

    @Samuel Yulish Joni wrote a few songs about Nash. To this day Graham still talks lovingly about her, can tell he still is. He asked he marry her, she left on a trip, sent him a telegraph saying it was over. The biggest song she wrote about Nash was River. One heck of a song it is!! A Case of You was writte about Joni's relationship with Leonard Cohen. The Lady in the song that says "Go to him....Be prepared to bleed" was Cohen's Mother. She quite liked Joni, thought she had Incredible talent, even more than her son. Cheers

Also, for something completely different, check out her jazz song, The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines, featuring the legendary Jaco Pastorius on bass. Great review, as always!

    Joni is one of my all time favorites. She is playing a Dulcimer on this song, not a guitar but James Taylor is playing guitar on this recording. Joni had a hard time with love throughout her life, never finding a way to fit it into her life and schedule. She does mention it in this song as well. Joni once said "I write music for my sorrow and I paint for my joy." Her paintings are beautiful just like her music. Her musicianship is different from other artists and not only complex, but also atypical. Her lyrics are always so powerful as well. Incredible artist all the way around.

    You seem to like those Canadian storytellers. I know you have reacted to Neil Young before, but if you like stories, I recommend, "Helpless"... up here in the cold cold North, in January, what else do we have to do but ski, skate, and sip cocoa by the fire writing stories... .or if it's summer and we're at a cottage where the beauty of the forest and the water just hits you, you get inspired and write stories. We're a story nation. Also... kd lang does a beautiful cover of "A Case of You" and of "Helpless" too... she also does "Hallelujah" and she has some original work you might like. kd lang is a voice that just paralyzes you on the spot... oh my, but she's a treasure. "Constant Craving" is a must listen.

    Joni Mitchell wrote two songs about her affairs with Shepard during Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour of 1975. On Coyote she recounts Shepard's seduction of Mitchell at a period while he was both married and having an extramarital affair with the tour manager Christine O’Dell with the lines “He’s got a woman at home, another woman down the hall, but he seems to want me anyway.” [40]
