There's a picture of Joni & Neil when she visited the "Tonight's the Night" sessions in 1973. Neil comments: "It was an LP recorded in audio verite' , if you will,while completely intoxicated on Jose Cuervo tequila. We would not start recording until midnight, when we were so fucked up we could hardly walk. One night Joni Mitchell came in and did "Raised on Robbery" in the most sexy and revealing version that song ever had. She still refuses to let me release it. I don't know what the hell she was thinking when she joined us and sang the song. It kicks ass. What the fuck was that about? It was funkier than anything she has ever cut. A total gem!"

There are a LOT of corny, schmaltzy, mediocre and copycattish versions of BSN around, to the point where, if I hear that yet another artist is going to cover it, I just cringe. I really don't like the Judy Collins version. The arrangement is too bland, and a lot of covers use that version or a similar arrangement, rendered even blander, likely because Judy had the hit with it. In fact, I don't even like hearing Joni sing it anymore. Having said that, every now and then, that song will come on, either one of Joni's versions, or a cover, and I'll think, "Hey - that sounds good!" "Big Yellow Taxi" annoys the living crap out of me, no matter who sings it, because too many people just copy what someone else has already done. I don't mind the "Shine" version as much, but would still probably skip it eight times out of ten. I don't care for "the Circle Game" at all. I think I've heard it too often and it just seems interminable sometimes, especially that damn chorus about the seasons going round and round and the painted ponies going up and down - enough already! Likewise "Woodstock." Yeah, yeah, child of god, blah-blah-blah, although I do like "we are stardust/we are golden". "River" is heading towards "Make me wanna barf land" because there are just too many damn covers and now it seems to have morphed into a Christmas standard. The next thing you know, they'll be singing it in churches. Too bad, because I actually like that song, but other people are ruining it, damn them! I'm pretty much off most of "Clouds" with the exception of "Tin Angel," "I don't know where I stand," "I think I understand" and "that song about the Midway." Most of the time when I hear a Joni song played in a shopping mall, I want to yell, "She did write some other stuff, y'know!" >________________________________ > From: Betsy >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 4:57:28 PM >Subject: BYT and other hippie songs > >Big Yellow Taxi is one of the few Joni songs that you still hear in public.

Everyone and his uncle has done his / her version of it, but a lot of people associate the song with Joni. "Shine" is worthy, too. I guess people may think it's "simplistic", but Joni songs take decades to sink in. "Magdalene Laundries" and most of the songs from TI were not immediately loved by many when they were released. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni-digest@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni-digest@smoe.org] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 9:01 AM To: joni-digest@smoe.org Subject: JMDL Digest V2012 #1452 JMDL Digest Thursday, September 27 2012 Volume 2012 : Number 1452 ========== TOPICS and authors in this Digest: - -------- Re: Best last song ["Marian Russell" ] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:00:08 +0200 From: "Marian Russell" Subject: Re: Best last song I would vote for "Last Chance Lost" from TI. Her voice is so beautiful in this one, and it seems very heartfelt in the recording - sad and personal. Marian Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:45:01 +0000 From: Susan Tierney McNamara Subject: Best last song I was thinking about a thread of what you think is the best last song that Joni has written ... just weaving back through her albums ... Shine ... Taming The Tiger ... Turbulent Indigo ... which is the best one, and as I'm listening to the Fez performance of Magdalene Laundries, I really have to say that this song is a masterwork, and probably the last best song she has written ... Agree? Disagree? Debate? :) Sue Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1452 ****************************** - ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.

Yes, I know that many think TI is a masterpiece, but it's not one of my favorites. And while many of the TI songs are obviously brilliant, there is something about the smoothness of the vocals in HIH that I freaking love. Also, while "Nothing Can Be Done" isn't a favorite of anyone that I know, I love it. I've said before that the older I get, the more this one hits home. I love her phrasing and the whole vocal. And you know what? I miss Klein. Now, if i were to read this the other way, and view the thread as the last song on the album, i gotta say that Joni's brilliant in sequencing her songs - although I think Blue should have ended the album, not just side one.

I mean, technically she only has ONE "last" song, just like she only has one "first song" (Day After Day). Try to be more succinct, willya? :-) That's why I didn't mention Magdalene Laundries...it's not the "last" song on TI. It is a great song, I can rarely make it through without getting a lump in my throat or watery eyes, and if I do, once she sings "like some lame bulb that'll never bloom" I'm a goner for sure. Such a dark song - I guess favoring the brighter stuff the way I do, I might have to go with "Harlem In Havana", I just love everything about it.

That'll allow you to 'Save Link As...' which then allows you to download into the download folder.
