Both sides now / Joni Mitchell (acoustic cover)

In my opinion, Joni Mitchell is one of the best singer/songwriters ever and Both Sides Now is one of her greatest songs.

[@deanepeterson9286]

Wow, Dan! That was a GREAT cover. Your playing, voice, and interpretation were all wonderful. As a timeless song that is one of my favorites, I've heard a LOT of versions of this. While most of those are good and I've enjoyed them, I occasionally run across one that rises to the upper echelon--both in performance quality and unique interpretation. Yours certainly did. You played it faster than I normally like to hear it, BUT your more intricate strumming style, and your expressive voice--which seemed (and pardon my lack of knowledge of music theory in expressing this well) to somehow go "slower" than the accompanying, warm-toned guitar--were perfect together. I'm glad to read that this is available on digital platforms and will look for it. All the best! Thank you for this post.
