    Both Joni and Rufus are gloriously unique. I’ve followed them both for decades.

    Rufus Wainwright always nails the Joni Mitchell covers. This one is great! I wish he would do a live show of "Blue" and tour with it.

    Wow, best male version of any Joni Mitchell song I’ve ever heard, including Woodstock.

      Have you listened to Rufus singing "All I want" and "Blue"? Simply great

      James Blake and Prince both smashed it to. It's a real though one for me.

    Rufus has managed to cover almost every one of my favorite songs... it's uncanny. Beautiful, beautiful.

  • @DashRipr0ck

    It takes a very secure artist to cover a Joni Mitchell song. Gosh, that woman has a vocal range that borders on freakish, beside being a triple threat: song writer, singer, and a musician. If "performer" is a separate qualifier, then add that. She's a muse who fell to earth.

      Rufus is amazing but that’s not what triple threat means.

    Brining the "what's great about Rufus" to "what's great about Joni." Beautiful.

    Rufus is my all-time favorite performer and I love everything he does. I fell in love with this song as I watched him sing it 3 times last month at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn.

    Supposedly Joni wrote this about Leonard Cohen. Rufus (who grew up in Canada) became very close to his daughter Lorca and had a baby together.

    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 are 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 that 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 are 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

    • @yellfire

      the one version that transcends Joni's version is Joni's orchestral rendition of 'A Case Of You' on her album 'Both Sides Now' from 2000

    Un brano che Joni Mitchell ha scritto per ricordare la fine della sua storia d'amore con Leonard Cohen. Bellissima la cover di Rufus, bello pensare che è stato anche lui profondamente legato a Leonard Cohen
