(Not Caffeinated Enough Yet to Think of a Snappy Title)


Right around sunset last evening... or just after. Click to embiggen, as always.

I posted a little Elvis immediately below and mentioned in comments that "I like his wife,too." Well, that's true... and this tune bears sharing.



This song as done by Ms. Krall (or would that be "Mrs. Costello?") is my all-time favorite Joni Mitchell cover and is the perfect example of those rare times when the cover equals the original. I won't say "exceeds," coz that would be heresy. NO one exceeds Joni... ever.

  1. We're huge Diana Krall fans, and making converts slowly - a disc of her recordings is a standard "go to" birthday gift for me now. ;-)

  6. Doc: Thanks. And, like that jet in the pic, the brilliant moments are often too fleeting.

  7. "NO one exceeds Joni... ever."

    I dunno about that. I'm one of the biggest Joni Mitchell fans I know (lol), and I still believe Bonnie Raitt recorded a better version of "That Song About the Midway" than Joni, who wrote it (and recorded it on "Clouds").

    Just my two pence.
