Emmylou Harris doing "Every Grain of Sand" is quite nice.
Re: Nico. I can never get over how out of tune she is. Was.

I actually had a pretty hard time deciding which version of "I'll Keep It With Mine" was better - Dylan's, Fairport's or Nico's. It's a hypnotic and haunting song regardless.

Johnny Rivers' take on "positively 4th street" is grand. and i reckon i'd call it beautiful. in its own way

Olivia Newton-John's "If Not For You" is beautiful in much the same way that Olivia Newton-John's hair is beautiful.
Nina Simone's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" is beautiful in much the same way that blood trickling down a drain can be beautiful.

How do folks feel about "Eastern Rain", the Joni cover on WWDOOH? Having pulled out the album for the first time in a while, I'm just mesmerized by this one. Don't feel I've paid it the proper attention before on an album with "I'll Keep it With Mine" and "Meet on the Ledge", etc.. Denny in full-throated mode, but still her singing (and the instrumentation, too) manages lovely delicacy at the same time.

the guitar solo in "Eastern Rain" is unfortunate.
