Hi everyone, Here is my take. I do understand Shari's feeling about Joni covers but having listened to some of Bob's cover catalogue and David Gizara's radio show I see there is room for fresh interpretations of her songs. If you think of Joni as a composer and not just a performing artist it opens up a new world. Yes, many of her songs are personal but they are personal in a way many of us can relate to. When Dave and I put together the Mutts band it was never with the intention to make a recording - that came as a natural evolution as a band. The most profound thing that has occurred as a result of dedicating a band solely to Joni's music and playing live has been not just reinvigorating old fans of hers but introducing and helping to create new fans. I think performing live is the most important thing we do in honoring Joni. For us it is so much deeper than just enjoying the music and having success around it. We do this because there is no other music that compares in depth and beauty - to my ears at least. I can't even tell you how passionate we are about it. I'm the luckiest of lucky girls to have world class musicians backing me up and willing to play more often than not for next to nothing.

They get the music. They respect it and still manage to make it their own. Get all of these tracks or buy the cd. You won't be sorry. > > And I don't mean to detract from any musician who chooses to cover Joni's work. My hat is also always off to Mr. Mueller for his amazing ability to find so many versions of Joni's songs. It's such a tribute to her that there are so many out there. > > But I'm like you, Shari. I've always felt nobody sings Joni Mitchell as well as Joni Mitchell. There are few, to my ears, that can do her justice. Robin Adler is one of those few and she is backed by first rate musicians. The sound quality of the cd is also excellent, thanks to Robin's husband and ace guitar player, Dave Blackburn. > > Mark in Seattle > Mutts of the Planet fan > > -----Original Message----- From: Eaton, Shari > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 2:31 PM > To: Dave Blackburn > Cc: Catherine McKay ; joni@smoe.org list > Subject: Re: Safaris to the Heart spreading itself about. > > Dave, > > Thanks for sharing. I'm really happy you guys are enjoying playing music and the success around that. I have a hard time listening to anyone but Joni sing her songs. I realize a lot of you do covers and I hope I'm not saying anything ghastly here. I'll just keep out of the covers conversations. > > *slinks away into the background. > > Cheers, > Shari > > > > On Aug 28, 2012, at 2:15 PM, Dave Blackburn wrote: > >> Shari, >> >> You can hear clips on http://www.robinadler.com/music.html or http://www.reverbnation.com/robinadlermuttsoftheplanet.
