One of the benefits of Joni NOT being classically trained; she duplicated what she heard in her head and not what the rules said. I mean, right off the bat..."It was a rainy night..." that note on "night" is so bizarre and jazz-blue. I don't speak as an educated musicquarian or anything, just that it doesn't seem to go where the preceding notes are leading it. (Robin, your professional comments would be welcomed as you nail this on your CD). I love the live version on MoA; that killer bass riff was sampled on "Girl In The Picture" by Jon Notty to cool effect. Marc Copland (piano) has covered Rainy Night House on THREE different albums, and even included some piano improvisations inspired by the song on his latest record. Irma Keller recorded it in Swedish as "En Regnig Natt". And if you ask me to list my LEAST favorite Joni covers, Chad Jasmine's take on this song is right up there.
