We've been talking about C&S as being Joni's most commercially accessible album (not sure if anyone used that word but I think it's probably true), and while the songs and production and arrangements are all one big ball of ear candy, it's always appropriate to remember how strong the record is lyrically. I've talked about Down To You before, and to me it is the crowning achievement of the album, but this pairing of songs is also worthy of high praise. Of course, Joni pretty much 'joins' the songs on C&S, I almost think they are meant to be performed together as bookends but oddly until the cover I was listening to last night (both songs are joined together and performed as a 6-minute piece), no one has done that. Lots of covers of PP (20), a few of SS (5, a scandalously low number), but never before recorded as Joni did them as companion pieces on C&S. Obviously both songs are strong enough on their own (an understament - they are incredibly brilliant) but sung together reinforces their strength I think. What made the cover I heard last night so interesting to me was that the singer was right on pitch but had none of Joni's vocal power, so you get these very emotional and vulnerable lyrics sung in a somewhat vulnerable way. Joni's vocal is very confident and strong, emotional and beautiful, but I have to say that hearing the recording last night I felt a vulnerability that I hadn't felt on Joni's own recording. Obviously, I'm not intending to diss Joni's work on C&S in any way - this record is an incredible masterpiece and deserving of all the success it continues to receive. What also amazes me about the record is that nearly 40 years after its release, it doesn't sound the least bit dated. It always sounds as fresh to my ears now as it did then. And it still pulls up these intense feelings. I have a bunch more thoughts on both songs but before I write a novella I'll just put this out there and see what y'all think.

It's like much of what's (probably) on you-tube: without identifying key-words, nobody would ever find it. Us jmdl-ers are the only ones who know who it is (I hope).
