I closed my eyes and thought of Joni Mitchell. Very much Joni . I guess that's why I liked them from the off and they are Canadian! Damn those Canadians ! And would you believe it they play Manchester Thursday and I have my ticket. Going to get to review an album of there's soon as possible. Just so busy at the mo, and very lazy at the same time .

A Video of last night
Absolutely wonderful gig last night . Done a lot of small venues over the years now and really incredible how they are much more intermate. This a band that could probably not hold the attention of a large gig . But it was one of those "you can hear a pin drop" moments when they did a song from the album which is almost entirely piano and vocal album . Came away even more of a fan than I already was . With the 2 latest albums bought it's going to be a whole weekend of The Weather Station.

Thought I'd put this one up Mr. K. Sammie was here a couple of weeks ago and her encore song was 'Dreams'. Joining her on stage was The River Kittens (opening act), Eric Gales, and Devon Allman (Greg Allman's son).

Joni Mitchell was one of the artists that got me into folk music . Her career changed over the decades with her love for Jazz and the 80`s came along she lost her way for me I admit I struggled with her new music and now I embrace it as we will never has the like of such an amazing artist . But in my humble she was at her finest in her early folk years . In 2015 she suffered a brain aneurysm and if anything just for her to survive was all that mattered . She got through it and on 24th of July 2022 she appeared at the Newport Folk Festival where it all began.

Thanks for posting that Mr. K! A little shout out for Joni's backing band on that song too! Joni’s Jam consists of Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, Allison Russell, Shooter Jennings, Wynonna Judd, Celisse Henderson, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Blake Mills, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig (Lucius), Marcus Mumford, Sista Strings, Josh Neumann, Matt Chamberlain, Rick Whitfield, Ben Lesser, Blake Mills, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, and Jay Carlile. Found this interesting about Joni's only child. nedhardy.com/2022/07/03/kelly-dale-anderson/#:~:text=Kelly%20Dale%20Anderson%20%E2%80%93%20Everything%20You%20Wanted%20To,has%20been%20a%20mystery%20for%20over%2030%20years.
