Most notably, Ever So Lonely and a wonderful Indian style cover of the Beatles song Tomorrow Never Knows. She later tried to get back to her roots with some more traditional Indian music but also experimented with more ambient styles. Hope this helps. Mark in Sydney.

Namely, the one that first shuffled tentatively into view on Help Me (quite possibly filched from Melanie's Center of Your Circle), picked up speed and meat to fuel the soaring Black Crow, then found its apotheosis of expression on Don Juan's Restless Daughter (the song). Jimmy Page eat your hat!

In last friday's Lagniappe Section of the Times Picayune there was an article about Chris Thomas King (actor musician from Oh Brother Where Art Thou and son of Baton Rouge Blues Man Tabby Thomas). In the article it mentions the following: The week before Katrina, King had recorded the Joni Mitchell standard "Big Yellow Taxi" at Ultrasonic Studios. He planned to finish mixing the track the following week, but floodwater in the Washington Avenue studio ruined the master tape. King had left with a CD containing a rough mix of the song. When his family made their last-minute dash to the airport, he forgot it in the glove compartment of his SUV which remained at his house. The SUV filled with water, but the CD survived. King realized such lyrics as "don't know what you got till it's gone" now had fresh significance.
