Cass is very Cass, I like it! As for the CBC Orchestra and Sarah Slean, um ...sorry, that didn't work for me except for All I want. Both sides, now sounded downright whiny to my ears. Woodstock and Free man to Paris - if you didn't know them you'd easily forget them after listening to Sarah Slean. With All I want she leaves a mark, though, and gives her own believable interpretation. All in my opinion, of course. Would love to hear what everybody else thinks.

I like Sarah Slean doing her own stuff. She has a very 1920s or 1930s sort of voice, I think. I've only got one CD of hers though. However, I found the arrangements of these songs (and I also listened to a couple of Ron Sexsmith's covers of Lightfoot and a couple of the French ones) all sounded the same. The tempo was pretty much the same for all (slooooowww), as if they overdid the reverential stuff.

And such a great 'first track'..."come to the dinner gong, the table is laden high" as if she's calling us to the feast that FTR is. The line "some get nothing though there's plenty to share" always hits me right between the eyes. That ecstatic moment of her vocalizing "gli-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ide" is in and of itself worth the price of admission. And like most FTR tunes, not many covers of it - (2), a pretty laid back Lani Hall and a semi-prog rock version by Manfred Mann's Earth Band where they switch around a lot of the words.

It's definitely my least favorite, although I do like it, but I rarely listen to it now. Every now and again.

I noticed a couple of people listed BSN (the orchestral version) as one of Joni's 15 greatest songs. That being said, do you like the original BSN or the newer orchestral one more? You can list your reasons why you like what better but I suspect I will already know your reasons (I am psychic). As for me, I can't honestly say as I don't own the orchestral BSN. I have heard a bit of it on the Woman of Heart & Mind DVD, and a time or two in a film.

Definitely the newer version, because it brings a lifetime of experience to the song, which makes it richer and more meaningful (not that the first version wasn't fine). Joni's voice fits the song much better now, and she sings it in a more believable way than the younger Joni did. But I do still like the first version as well. I play both of them, often after each other...

It seems to be either a legit concert release from KTS/CD Music Co. (KTS 360) in Italy, or, a darn good boot from the mixing board. It was recorded live in Toronto, Canada, September 23, 1994. Which is it? I suspect the latter. I'm not much for boots, as I have only about a dozen in my collection of over 4,000 albums, so I don't keep up on this end of the business. The recording quality is very good, for the circumstances. I also enjoy Joni's between song monologues. I haven't seen any discussion of this album, even though I'm certain that there has been some back in the day. It is Joni solo with her full and rich guitar accompaniment. What is the story on this album? "Just Ice" Program (spellings as they appear on the back cover) 1. Sex Kills (All songs by Joni Mitchell.) 2. Moon at the window 3. Magdalene Laundry 4. Hejira 5.

(Italy was a center for bootleg CD's in the 80's and 90's-don't know if it still is. I think collector-type bootlegs have been supplanted by file sharing to a greater or lesser degree.) As Jerry says, this is the audio from a Toronto TV studio with audience. The back says "Sept. 23, 1994". It is quite good quality, but not as good as I would expect from an official release. The cover is a blurry screenshot from the broadcast (I assume). As Joni boots go, this is among the best.
