Yes, this is a Bob Dylan song, and at least one woman has covered it: Judy Collins (there I go again!) had a whole album titled "Judy Collins Sings Bob Dylan ... Just Like A Woman." >(2) Another Oldie: "The Wizard of Is" reminds me, musically, of "Suzanne", >you know, the one that starts "Suzanne takes you down/to a place by the >river/..." I don't know who wrote it -- it may even be "traditional", but >many artists have covered it. <snip> "Suzanne" is by Joni's fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen. (J.C. covered this one, too.) I get the jmdl on digest, and probably, others will have supplied this info earlier. And I'll have to defer to others to respond to your inquiries about parallels to Joni's compositions.
