Title: Joni towers over the landscape......... even more after this.
Product review: I would consider successful the tribute album that has at least 3-4 songs that are better, or at least more interesting, than the originals. This album fares far less well.Full disclosure here: I've been a rabid Joni fan for 30+ years. So I approached this tribute album with a mix of trepidation and hope. Sad to say, there is not a single song that I found compelling in comparison to the original. Don't get me wrong: Annie Lennox does a fine job with "Ladies of the Canyon", as does Cassandra Wilson with "For the Roses". But all they did was make me want to go listen to the originals.My biggest fear is some that some people will allow this album to act as their introduction to Joni. Trust me: a bigger mistake you could not make.
