I posted on another website just how much I love River and their covers. I think the song is one of Joni's strongest in the sense that it is easy to cover well. So many of Joni's songs have been perfected by Joni and, to my mind, cannot be covered easily. It may be because so many great Joni songs really require a jazz background and an intelligence that is lacking in many. Maybe that's why Cassandra Wilson, Norah Jones, and Natalie Merchant seem to cover Joni so well. With River, you need a sense of hurt and remorse but not a great set of pipes. Robert Downey Jr's version is a proof of this -- I think it's stunning. And lyric change aside, I really like J.T.'s version because he imbues it with so much J.T. that it's like a completely different song. Yep, it's Xmas time in L.A. again! Time to play me some River.

I would also love to have one! Monica Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 13:20:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay < anima_rising@yahoo.ca> Subject: WWJMD posters Hello, all. I've just sent off an email to the artist (Cecilia Berkovic) who created the "What would Joni Mitchell do?" posters cropping up in Toronto, to find out if she's interested in selling these to anyone interested in buying one, and to get details on pricing and so on, if so. Will let you know what/if I hear back. - ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:06:16 -0700 From: "gene" Subject: Re: WWJMD posters FYI---Just inquired about the posters---There are plenty left and you can get more information at this web address info@commonsort.com good day to all, gene - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monica Cardinale" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 12:32 AM Subject: WWJMD posters >I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the WWJMD poster was free > available during the Nuit Blanche in Toronto on October 1st at this shop: > > http://www.commonsort.com/common-sort/2011/09/nuit-blanche-common-sort.html > > Maybe they have some left.

There are a LOT of River covers, and a LOT of nice ones. When I get back to the USA I'll get back to cranking out new volumes and I'll load 'em up with Rivers just in time for the holidays. After all, nothing fills you with the joy of the season like Joni's "morbid" song about a love affair gone bad.
