There was talk of a tribute album a few years ago that got shelved, and that was the album LB's Big Yellow Taxi was going to be on. There are a couple of songs on this album that were also on the shelved project (I remember Elvis Costello - Edith & the Kingpin and Annie Lennox - Ladies of the Canyon being on that one), but some apparently aren't going to see the light of day (Etta James - Amelia and Chaka Khan - Hejira).

ooo - I love Bjork. I'll have to check this out.

btw, how did you get the little dots over the "o"?

when I typed Hasta Manana in another thread I was looking for the little "~" to go over the "n" and finally gave up!

copy and paste.

in the early versions of OS X, there was an app in the utilities folder that helped you find those weird characters, kind of like character map for windows? but i can't find it on my comp.

Love Joni, "Night Ride Home" should be in everybodies CD collection...

[ragandbone]

I can see why Prince is on this album: I have articles in which he stated that "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" was his favorite album. That album is pretty well represented in this collection.
I am pretty excited about all of these covers. I have heard the Sarah M. cover already. and it was beautiful, as expected, but didn't do anything radically new for the song, IMO. Maybe that's appropriate, I know when I sing a Joni song, I have a hard time changing any phrasing.
I love the idea of Caetano Veloso's angelic voice on Dreamland, and of course it already employs a Brazilian beat on the original.

Carrie, you should have something in your System Preferences manager, called "International" open that , and dig around, and you have something like the old "Key caps" in OS9.

Or, more notably (IMO), Stevie Wonder - Woodstock.

Thats right, it was "A Case of You" on that album...

You're obviously a Joni fan - have you got the "Night Ride Home" album?
