Stevie also is no player - CM is a magnificent player. Just listen to Brett's cover of her songs on the SYW tour. I think Brett is a great player and I like him and his style, but CM owns those songs and the difference is clear when I hear them.

Plus, anyone who can write "Why" is a goddes in my book. Interestingly, I would have LOVED to have heard Janis cover "Why" sort of like she did "Summertime"
