Stevie isn't stupid enough to be tempted into covering a Joni Mitchell song. Many dare to try, but very few pull it off. So if your name is not Judy Collins or Tom Rush, stay away. Or, in the case of Crosby Stills and Nash, you need to totally revamp the song so that it can actually be sung by mortals.
Sarah McLachlan did a beautiful version of Blue for her Fumbling Towards Ecstacy album. One that very nearly topped the original, in my opinion.
