It has none of the production values of Thomas Dolby, an unchanging and unchallenging drum rhythm, none of the three milltion overdubs and I simplified all of Joni's vocals. Despite this, the good news is that I make a fair few of the notes in tune (which is always a bonus :~)) and Steph being 'so excited' does a guest slot as Thomas Dolby.

I used to feel the same way about covers, especially Joni covers. There are some very dismal ones out there, and a lot of overly poppy versions of the same old BSN, Circle Game and so on. I admire Muller's fortitude that he can keep on listening. Having said that, I really think, and I hope I'm not prejudiced by the fact that Dave (and Robin too, I think) are on the jmdl. Maybe I wouldn't even have heard their stuff, were it not for this list, and that would be a shame. I think their stuff is really, really, really good.

She wanted to see them when they did their reunion tour not that long ago, but she couldn't get a ticket. That's how popular they were (apparently still are) here. I get it though.

She just announced on Facebook yesterday that she is prepping her latest for October 8th.

Hi everyone, Here is my take. I do understand Shari's feeling about Joni covers but having listened to some of Bob's cover catalogue and David Gizara's radio show I see there is room for fresh interpretations of her songs. If you think of Joni as a composer and not just a performing artist it opens up a new world. Yes, many of her songs are personal but they are personal in a way many of us can relate to. When Dave and I put together the Mutts band it was never with the intention to make a recording - that came as a natural evolution as a band. The most profound thing that has occurred as a result of dedicating a band solely to Joni's music and playing live has been not just reinvigorating old fans of hers but introducing and helping to create new fans. I think performing live is the most important thing we do in honoring Joni. For us it is so much deeper than just enjoying the music and having success around it. We do this because there is no other music that compares in depth and beauty - to my ears at least. I can't even tell you how passionate we are about it. I'm the luckiest of lucky girls to have world class musicians backing me up and willing to play more often than not for next to nothing.

I've always felt nobody sings Joni Mitchell as well as Joni Mitchell. There are few, to my ears, that can do her justice. Robin Adler is one of those few and she is backed by first rate musicians. The sound quality of the cd is also excellent, thanks to Robin's husband and ace guitar player, Dave Blackburn. > > Mark in Seattle > Mutts of the Planet fan > > -----Original Message----- From: Eaton, Shari > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 2:31 PM > To: Dave Blackburn > Cc: Catherine McKay ; joni@smoe.org list > Subject: Re: Safaris to the Heart spreading itself about. > > Dave, > > Thanks for sharing.

I'll just keep out of the covers conversations. > > *slinks away into the background. > > Cheers, > Shari > > > > On Aug 28, 2012, at 2:15 PM, Dave Blackburn wrote: > >> Shari, >> >> You can hear clips on http://www.robinadler.com/music.html or http://www.reverbnation.com/robinadlermuttsoftheplanet.
