Lol, as we have seen through the Yoko debate, and the crusade of some of
us to get people into DED, we are stubborn folk about who/what we like
and dislike! Of course, I don't think anyone can ever persuade me to
get into Dylan, so I am also guilty as charged!Cheers,

Thanks for the tip, Laura! This is "the" Larry Klein. I looked at the
Tower website and saw that she is releasing a new album on 1/12/99 which is
co-produced by Larry. I'm not familiar with her but listened to some sound
samples and she sounds to me a bit like a Country-tinged combination of
Sarah Mc/Shawn Colvin - real nice stuff and a pretty voice. Tower has
in-store concerts but sometimes they are by invitation only. I'm going by
there tomorrow and will try to find out more information.

Vicki - Great Call! Knopfler's guitar style and vocal style would work just
fine on many a Joni tune - my first thought was on "Cotton Ave.", especially
the intro with his airy but concise guitar runs. "Slouching" was another that
came to mind.
I was lucky back in the late 70's to see Dire Straits on their first US tour
in Greensboro, NC. They weren't that well known at the time, "Sultans of
Swing" was about all we heard except for a live tape one of my roommates had
(Which I dubbed and still have btw...). Anyway, we were right up front, about
an arm's length from Knopfler - what a musician! He pulled and wrestled every
note out of that thing, and worked up a healthy sweat in the process. The
headband he wore was definitely for a reason...

Ah yes, Dusty's tv show. A highpoint was the time she sang

tapes of most of those 60's pop shows did not survive. The BBC

Hey guys,
I know this subject has been discussed before, but has Joni ever recorded
UFG? I was expecting to find it on one of the first 2 albums, but having
gotten them recently, realize it's not there. Then in the last digest
someone mentioned her recording of it. Where? I have the version by Mary
Black but would love to hear the real thing.
Also, does anyone know offhand where the VF article is in the article
archives? I really want to read it but don't have time to search right now.
Would appreciate your help!

Mary,
Joni's recording of Urge for Going was originally released as the flip side
of the 45rmp single of "You Turn Me On I'm a Radio" (circa 1972, check Wally
website for exact date). It also is the first track on her HITS compilation
released in 1997(?).

My reaction was kind of the opposite ... I've always been an Elvis fan and a
Bacharach fan. Bacharach has written some of the most beautiful, melodically
and harmonically complex, sophisticated, soulful, idiosyncratic pop songs of
all time. And as evidenced on Painted From Memory, he has not lost his touch
one bit ... in fact, I can hardly listen to the album without the tunes
getting obsessively stuck in my head for days after. However, even though
Elvis' lyrics are wonderfully poignant, and he is a passionate and soulful
singer, he is totally the wrong singer for these songs. Bacharach's tunes are
so difficult they require a singer who can sing them effortlessly; in
Costello's renditions one is all too aware of the effort ... the pitchy
intonation lapses, the excessive gliding and swooping up to and down from
notes, the excessive vibrato and over-the-top bravura. But ... BUT!! ... the
songs are so gorgeous (as are the arrangements) that I still feel compelled to
listen; songs just don't get any better than "God Give Me Strength," "This
House Is Empty Now," and "I Still Have That Other Girl."
Which brings me to Grace Of My Heart, which I just saw yesterday and
thoroughly enjoyed. Maybe not a great film, but really very good; good cast,
great songs, and Illeana Douglas was superb. And Kristen Vigard, who sang as
the voice of the Illeana character (Edna/Denise) is a real find ... her
singing absolutely killed me. Her version of God Give Me Strength, sung with
only piano accompaniment (although we subsequently hear a snippet of the
produced version) is fantastic and far superior, in my view, to Elvis'
performance (I *really* wish they had included her version on the soundtrack
album ... does anyone know if it's been released anywhere else by her? I'd pay
good money for it). Vigard's rendition is everything Elvis' is not -- the
effortless grace, the understated passion, the near perfect execution of the
music, and the flawless emotional tone had me in tears. As did her performance
of the beautiful final song, A Boat On The Sea (which is a dead ringer for a
piano based For The Roses-period Joni tune, written by Larry Klein, who, after
should know). If you ask me (did anyone?), Vigard should record those
Bacharach/Costello tunes. Now that would be something.

That was a very good letter, in its entirety. I wish I could articulate as
well why I like or do not like something. I'm sure those songs are very, very
good. I'm not real proud of this, but perhaps I'm reacting to PFM the way many
Joni fans reacted to her collaboration with Charles Mingus. I sort of don't
get it. I guess it's not that I don't like PFM, it's just that I have a hard
time getting real excited about it.

Check our her website at http://www.shanamorrison.com/ There is a hot line
phone number where you may be able to order a CD. I recall that Julius on
the list here said he got her CD at one of her appearances in Northern
California. I went to her small concert in Hollywood about a month ago and
she was showcasing for all the major record labels. Hopefully she got a
deal with one of them.

An update on the performance - I went to Tower tonight and they said that
the Lynn Miles/Larry Klein in-store concert is not 100% confirmed for Jan.
13th but they are fairly certain it will take place. They said that the
concert will be open to the public and that people will get to meet them
afterward. I was told to check back on Monday for a confirmation.

Oh... Paul Simon on "Free Man in Paris," my fourth favorite Joni song... I
like it. I can almost hear him singing it in my head. On the same track,
how about Eric Clapton doing People's Parties? I'm listening to the
Unplugged CD, and I can just imagine him doing a great job.
