I was listening to a folk program on BBC Radio and heard a track called Ballade by Olivia Chaney and it was so beautiful I needed to know more about her. _http://ochaney.amazingtunes.com/tunes/168523_ (http://ochaney.amazingtunes.com/tunes/168523) I was amazed to find her lovely version of ACOY on YouTube. It's very much a tribute version and, of course, she is being described as the new British Joni Mitchell, something she will have to live with, but she is so talented. Have a listen. _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VipgQCfu824_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VipgQCfu824) Jacky ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:42:20 +0000 From: "all.a.stew" Subject: Mad for Joni again! Hey! I was on the list for what seems a life time ago (my email might have been amelio747), but now I'm back. I'm currently out of work and just got back into Joni after such a long absence (been listening to other greats like Dory Previn, Elliott Smith and Dylan), so now seems a good time to rejoin. I've downloaded a load of her stuff, as all my Joni CD's (I had all of them) were thrown away by a careless family member many moons ago. Wow is all I can say. I feel like I'm listening to Joni for the first time and with a more adult perspective. Dog Eat Dog: Is this supposed to be a parody? She's criticizing the yuppie 80s lot whilst using some of their music. I meqn come on, the horn solo in 'Lucky Girl'. It makes me want to laugh and cry all at once. I have some really good quality mp3's of this album and the difference is astounding. What a misunderstood album. I will have to blog this. 'The Sire of Sorrow' (Travelogue version): My god this song is comforting. Why did everyone go nuts over her Both Sides Album, when Travelogue is a far more interesting piece? Turbulent Indigo: okay so I get this much more now I am older. The chords on 'The Magdalene Laundries' are beautiful and I even like 'Yvette in English' and 'Last Chance Lost' second time around. I really must have grown up. The Hissing of Summer Lawns: still my favourite. Wild Things Run Fast: still my least.

If someone has to play Joni Mitchell in a movie, this woman seems to have the vocal chops to do it. She almost seems to be a throw-back to the Joni Mitchell/Judy Collins/Joan Baez type of pure, natural, unadorned soprano. Very easy on the ears. I listened to samples of some MP3s on Amazon. Only a handful that are there but they have a lovely sound to them. Thanks for the tip, Jacky. I think I'm going to watch out for more from Olivia Chaney.

So oh well, here's another brand spanking new one, chock full of Joni jewels for your eargasmic pleasure. Lots of Japanese artists on this one - about once or twice a year I go hunting on cdjapan.com and pickup 5-6 new CD's. Typically always great stuff and these are no exception. Also features River by Rita Wilson, a gorgeous rendition of the rarely-done Cold Blue Steel, a BYT that incorporates lots of the Janet Jackson track, tosses in guest rap, and ends unexpectedly, and a BSN by US Elevator that was a special release for Record Day last year. Marc Copland offers up IDKWIS after THREE version of Rainy Night House. Also included is a track by one of my favorite band names ever - Rolie Polie Guacamole. Thanks to Monica & Paul for their help. Take it out for a spin: http://tinyurl.com/Covers161 1. Boi Akih - Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire 2. Brooke - Big Yellow Taxi 3. US Elevator - Both Sides Now 4. Rita Wilson - River 5. Heike Kraske - Both Sides Now 6. Barbara Crow - Be Cool 7. Marc Copland, Drew Gress & Jochen Rueckert - I Don't Know Where I Stand 8. Emi Hayakawa - Both Sides Now 9.

I also can say that it's never been covered. Speaking of covers, I'm trying to get Retro volume #80 up here but my PC is not cooperating...
