Perhaps because Dylan FELL ASLEEP the first time Joni played Court and Spark for him???Despite being a guy, I have to sympathize with Joni. It almost seems like a woman's curse (men falling asleep on them).

Hey, I thought that Joni and Judy were good friends or is this something of the past(60's and 70's)? While I think Judy is one of the best interpreter is the business, I must say that the two Mitchell cuts on that album (Wildflowers) are probably her weakest interpretations. The album as a whole is incredible and you can almost say that she is more of a pioneer than Joni at putting pop songs in an orchestral format. Still, I've always found that Judy's version of BSN was too "up" on this record. I like it but I think Joni's is much better. Additionally, I find that the other Mitchell cut on this album (the beautiful Michael from Mountains)sounds too much like she is doing "Peter and the Wolf". It's a good solid version but it's not definitive. I also like Joni's version better. The rest of this album is FLAWLESS!!! Collins is the ultimate L.Cohen interpreter! She does 3 Cohen songs here. Jennifer Warnes is great but I think Judy is better.
I got a great picture of Joni and Judy up in Joni's tree house playing guitar.
