I love-love-love that you love Joni. And I love your eclectic music taste. It’s refreshing. You should check out Brandi Carlile if you dig Joni. Brandi has helped Joni return to performing after a brain aneurysm nearly killed her. They surprised everyone at the Newport Folk Festival with her first live performance since the aneurysm and then played the Grammys together for Joni’s first time ever. Brandi an insane writer and an even better vocalist. Really, you can’t go wrong with any of Brandi’s music. She crosses a lot of genres, but is mostly Americana. She has worked with everyone: Elton John, Pink, Sound Garden, Sam Smith, Tanya Tucker, Miley Cyrus, Hozier, Dolly Parton, Kelly Clarkson, Allison Russel, Annie Lennox, Alicia Keys, and of course Joni Mitchell, but here are a couple Joni covers.
Here is Brandi Cover Jonis’s “A Case of You” (Which is my all time favorite Joni song and I thought no one would ever be able to cover):

This is Brandi covering Joni’s “Woodstock” another one of my favorites.

"Just before our love got lost, you said ‘I am as constant as the Northern Star.’ And I answered ‘Constantly in the darkness, where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar'." What an incredible person, singer, lyricist and musician. An absolute Canadian treasure! And many, many thanks to Brandi Carlisle for getting Joni back on stage!
This song is about Leonard Cohen (who wrote the song "Hallelujah," among many others).
Fine artist, poet, musician, vocalist. Another Canadian gift to the world.
She is beauty. Full stop.
I had the privilege of seeing Joni in concert and was awestruck the entire time. She does Canada proud with her intense grace and talent. Amelia, it was a just false alarm...
Court and Spark is life changing. Joni Mitchell is an artist, period. 🤗
Every song on "Blue" is perfect....the definitive version of Case of You. (Go Browns!)
Still my favorite of her albums.
The instrument that Joni is playing is called a "mountain dulcimer". She plays many instruments, some with different tunings. She is vastly talented.
or Appalachian dulcimer, or lap dulcimer.
The reason she has so many alternate tunings is that she polio as a child in Saskatchewan, Canada and she couldn't manipulate her hands to play a lot of standard tuning. Then, she just experimented and came up with the most incredible sounds.
Prince was a huge Joni Mitchell fan and did covers of “A Case Of You” in concert sometimes. There are several of them on UA-cam.
There cannot be enough SAID about this WOMAN!! SO MANY GREAT TUNES!! One of my favs is RIVER.... She is a TREASURE!! ENJOY!! :)
"River" is the song that made me a Joni Mitchell fan.
@@buckdeppen9388 Another vote here for "River" I hope Polo listens to it, except he might seriously start watching for that asteroid...
So GOOD, RIGHT??!!
I love that whole Blue album.
🎼Joni was born in Alberta Canada on Nov 7, 1943 and is now 80 years old. She has/had a powerfully beautiful voice.❤
Joni Mitchell does truly have a voice of an angel! This song was about fellow Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen who wrote amongst many others Hallelujah.
Cheers
That's an Appalachian mountain dulcimer she's playing - a traditional instrument related to a zither. So much good music from Joni. I'd recommend reacting to her entire "Hejira" album from start to finish. It's a flawless gem. One of the great female voices in folk-rock - I'd rate her equal top with Emmylou Harris and Sandy Denny.
Pure angelic soul. If you don't tear up, you have no soul. She's an angel..
You’re not ‘just an old guy talking’ Polo, you just know what’s transcendent and what ain’t. Love you.
Next, listen to Joni perform Both Sides Now. Then ask yourself how any 21 year old could paint such a life weathered masterpiece.
She used to live with Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash in a house in Laurel Canyon. Graham wrote the song “Our House” about their time together.
Led Zeppelin wrote Going to California about Joni. Everyone was in love with her. ❤
She wrote A case of You about singer/songwriter, Leonard Cohen. You might know his song, Hallelujah. ❤❤❤❤
I never knew that about Going to California, and Joni is my favorite artist! Thank you for that. I really enjoy the song Going to California. You probably know that Sandy Denny also sang with Zeppelin on that song. I am going to listen to it again right now!
@@annwaddell7321No, Sandy Denny sang with Zeppelin on "The Battle of Evermore." But both this song and "Going to California " are on that amazing fourth album.
Oh yes! That is right. Thanks for the correction. Either way, they sounded great together. @@DanalynTuthill-yl4hd
My favorites are probably 'Songs to aging children come', (courtesy of Alice's Restaurant), and 'Song to a seagull'. But River is close! It covers so many emotional peaks.
her work is incredible all the way around, but this song, this song... leaves me speechless every time. it's perfection.
Joni is one of the best singer/songwriters of her era. Her album "Blue" is superb, every song is a gem.
Joni is simply the greatest ~
The live version of her song, "Amelia" from her Shadows and Lights tour is mind blowing....
Well, Jaco Pastorius. What else is there to say?
@@MarcosElMalo2I'm 100% with you on Jaco, while the pedant in me is bound to point out that that version of Amelia is just Joni solo! You then get the segue into Pat Metheny's exquisite guitar solo, which then segues into the magnificent Hejira, when Jaco and the rest of that superb band join in...
Joni is an amazing poet and story teller. She paints pictures with her music.
My 25 yo Daughter, she so loves this most beautiful of songs , me , I love the the Original ,of "Both Sides , Now" , it's such a beautiful song , Joni we luv you
This performance -- of this masterpiece song -- is transcendent. It almost leaves you in awe of what humans are capable of.
If you are liking Joni's music, there's a better than 5% chance you would like her album titled *Blue* (1971). Every. Single. Song. 👍😎
THIS!!!!
@@dianer.9203 👍😁
When I was a teenager, a friend’s Mom gave me her old Joni albums. I instantly became a huge fan. In 1983, I was fortunate enough to see her perform.
The wonderful thing about Joni is that, as a teenager, I could appreciate the lyrics and as I matured I could understand the lyrics. That’s the mark of a great songwriter. As the listener ages and goes through life experiences their understanding and appreciation of the songs change along with them.
I was lost, and then I was found. I remember all those times so long ago, Joni Mitchelll, Carole King, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, and so many, so many great artists.
Brenda Lee.
All heart and soul and honesty. Vulnerability. Never a dry eye, over the years, listening to Joni.
Yes, a beautiful and angelic soul.
Angelic voice indeed. Almost 'a capella' all the way. Genuine artist.
Polo, you are a wonderful person, I love that you can appreciate great music, even if it’s not recognized in todays world, because these days people don’t appreciate beauty in music, the beauty that was our planet, before greed began destroying it and the beauty of living in peace. Please keep sharing the beauty you have inside your soul. ✌️
Joni Mitchell is an icon. This song appeals to my ear more when sung by James Wolpert, he was on The Voice ten years ago, give it a listen it's on YT. It's my own taste but I never would have heard it if Ms. Mitchell didn't write it. 🤙😎
Joni has always been my northern star. She is a poet without equal.
Joni kept growing as her career progressed, from folk to rock to jazz. I hope you enjoy your journey with her and her music.
Yes, after listening to Joni's music, hundreds of times, I still get chills. Her music is a great part of the "Soundtrack of My Life." It is deep, cheerful, whimsical and above all, beautiful!
I am very happy to say that I own copies of everything she has created. Joni is truly amazing!
A Case Of You
by Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh, but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter
Bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I feel the same way! Amazing.
She's genius lyricist.
So eclictic, Joni is just a legend.
One of my favourite Joni Mitchell songs.
Joni Mitchell is a wonder of nature. Not only is she an incredibly talented musician, singer, and songwriter, but she paints too! Check out some of her album covers with her own artwork. Brilliant!
"I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints" Joni's lyrics are sheer poetry & her music & voice flow perfectly together to make her songs so memorable. This track & the album "Blue" are my all time top loves. Joni has been with me for over 50 years & for that I am grateful & honoured. For more Joni try "Hissing of Summer lawns" & "In France they kiss on Main Street"
I've never seen this live version. Thanks for the reaction. Have loved her for decades....This whole album, Blue, is rock solid. California is a very nice tune.
California is one of my favorites too
Jazz cats love her. Check out her relationship with Charlie Mingus. Much like Miles Davis didn't much care for Caucasians but he loved working with her. Look at the trail of men left in her wake. Golden in every real and metaphorical way.
No matter how many times i hear her....she makes me cry....❤🇨🇦
I got into Joni when I heard the song "Hejira" playing during the interlude between artists, just before the Steve Hillage Band played, in 1976.
It completely mesmerised me and I bought the "Hejira" album soon afterwards.
The next album was "Blue", from which album this song is taken. Now THERE is an album to get into. It's worth trying out the studio version of this!
I found her through my grandfather showing me The Last Waltz and her performance of Coyote with the Band.
Other People's Parties, love this!!!!!,
I love everything about Joni. Her lyrics, the chosen instrument for each song, but most of all are her perfectly unpredictable molodies. It's a treasure. Bring it all together with her emotion... She was brilliant at her craft.
And I'm sure it would have been cool af to hang out with her.
A very welcomed gift to this world.
Her lyrics and voice has touched my soul ever since i saw her performance singing Big Yellow Taxi on the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival documentary many years ago. This song gives me goosebumps❤
BLUE is an amazing album!
Check out the CD too, Joni is even more outstanding on that. Also her song "River" is beautiful.
You are a Canadian playing solo on the BBC with just a recorder. And just a totally awesome performance. Total star and artist.
Wow, her voice is so beautiful!
She is amazing!
She is wonderful.
I hope you can do "River" one of these days... it's probably considered more of a Christmas song and you might want to wait until Winter... just want to plant the seed now LOL Chills... ❤
It’s a timeless song.
A true talent
An incredible writer, composer, singer, with such a soulful voice. ❤ I had this album, all angelic!
Polo, I've got to say...I just love watching your facial expressions and hearing your comments on the music I lived by when I was ever so much younger. I believe your astute appreciation of the music from that time and your ability to put it into words goes a long way toward helping others appreciate it.
About Joni, I still have her 'Blue' LP and pull it out now and then. She evokes the same emotions now as she did all those years ago. I'd not heard this live rendition. It's even better! THANK YOU!
Joni Mitchell Era of Music always makes me tear up cause it takes me back to being a kid listening to the car radio w/my Parents. Kisses to the Skies✨🤍✨
I can't profess to know much about Joni Mitchell's wealth of music, but there is one song of hers that I am fascinated by, and I think Polo would enjoy as well - "Coyote" from The Last Waltz. I've watched it a dozen times or more, and I am mesmerized every time I see it.
The studio version is on Hejira - one of the all-time great folk-rock albums.
She's playing a mountain dulcimer. Treat yourself to that whole LP sometime. It is something very special. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Check out her Newport Jazz Festival appearance, recently, a comeback after her stroke.
She also performed Clouds at this year’s Grammys!
Joni is great. ❤❤❤
This is one of my all time favorite songs. So beautiful, so simple, and it makes me feel something every time.
Driving across New Mexico late at night 30 years ago listening to Joni.
I saw Joni live at Pine Knob (outside Detroit) back in the 80s. Most amazing performance I've ever seen.
Amazing Joni
I love that you are loving Joni. Watch too many people of the 70s didn't appreciate exactly how you accurately described her.
“Part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time” Amazing!
I love your reaction to this. I saw expressions of joy and calm and appreciation on your face that I don't think I've seen before. Beautiful to see, as well as hear, the impact the music has on you.
Court and Spark album is her best
This kind of song and this one in particular shows how much the voice is absolutely an instrument.
True and amazing talent, heart and soul indeed! I enjoyed getting to see the video of her performing it, while listening and watching your reactions. Just a mountain dulcimer on her lap and her voice and an amazingly written/crafted song! 🥰
As already stated this song is about Joni's love affair with the late Leonard Cohen. Both Canadians and two of the greatest song writers of our time. Can you imagine the kinetic energy created by that coupling! A Case of You, was witten about Leonard and he wrote Traveling Lady about Joni. He also had a short affair with Janis Joplin. He wrote Chelsea Hotel for her.
Best on point ramble at the end!!! So true!!! 👍🏼
Ahhhhh....my very favorite song.
She is an absolute genius!
A true Canadiana legend she was appreciated by a lot stars back then, and very influential she’s truly amazing
L O V E this song and Joni Mitchell
Such a great poet and such a fantastic, subtle voice residing in one person is hard to believe. You are so true about her being real. She is a unique musical talent providing much to savor.
I am now 76 years old and a musician. In the course of my life I loved countless songs and albums. The album “ Blue” however stands alone as the most innovative and poetical album of all time. Nothing comes close to this album it is beyond perfection it almost bleeds emotion.
Imagine an alien who could speak English landed here on earth yet this alien was somehow ignorant of the concept of “Love” . I would say to this alien “ Go listen to the Joni Mitchell Blue album, then you will understand.”
Joni has said'
"I sing my sorrows and I paint my joys".
Joni is the greatest and so are you my man.
The re mastered studio version has 1.1million views~
Joni is transcendent. The mire you listen the more you realize what a consummate musician she is.
You might like to hear a beautiful cover of this song by James Wolpert, on the Voice. Then try Joni Mitchell’s River for another incredible one of hers, the one with Blue, River up in the top left of the album cover.
She wrote this song about her lover at the time,Mr.Leonard Cohen ,who wrote the song ,”Alleluia “.They were both very young.Joni had a child that she gave up for adoption because she was trying to get her career going.A very artistic woman and very complicated too.I am sure she has a few laments but no regrets.Not saying Cohen was the father,I don’t know who the father was with her child.
I agree with your commentary, Polo.
You HAVE to listen to her later version of this. She re-recorded it when she was older and it is GORGEOUS. Her voice had deepened and matured and the arrangement is stunning. Please check it out.
My favorite
You should check out her 'Blue' album (cd)
It’s musicians like Joni that make your heart weep. It’s amazing how one person can touch your soul. Not many artist like this. And absolutely none right now. Artists don’t say anything meaningful. And most have no raw talent besides a studio of fancy buttons
This song really goes deep into my heart❤❤
Thanks for your perspective. She is wonderful.
This is a beautiful song. One of my favorites.
A voice that sounds like it has only ever breathed pure oxygen
Perfect song
Love the rambling! Iconic Joni! Check out her song "River". Fabulous song. Sarah McLachlan does a beautiful rendition of it❤❤
She felt she had to give up her daughter for adoption when she was about eighteen. Her career was just starting. I think that’s where a lot of her melancholy came from. I’m glad she reconnected with her child at some point. I think that was her only offspring. I’ve loved her music since I was 17. I’m now 74.
❤Joni❤
Many of the artists you play sound like my childhood. ❤
Joni Michell, Karen Carpenter, Kate Bush, Hannah Reid (London Grammar) and Simone Simmons (Epica) ladies across genres whose voices simply uplift my spirit to another level.
One of my favourites. 😊
A Canadian legend.
