Christmas - "River" (Joni Mitchell cover)


Recommended Posts

A great old tune and a real challenge to cover simply because of Mitchell's unique delivery, but I gotta say, the vocal performance was wonderful. Utterly faithful but with a unique voice.  Guitar break is great, perfect for the song.  Arrangement-wise, I'm always a fan of small accent bits here and there to keep things interesting, but honestly, the vocals are compelling enough that the song doesn't suffer. Mix is good to my tattered ears. 

Great work!

Thanks again!

I'm 59 and I'd never heard the original (or as far as I know, any Joni Mitchell song) until a few weeks ago when the singer said "I want to do this one".

Glad I did it justice in the eyes of someone who's more familar with her music.
