> Why do most people resist such innovation so much? It's not innovation that I resist; it's artists that I can't stand - such as Bjork. But I have no problem with your admiration of her and wouldn't think to pass judgement on you because you do. Any Joni fan is also going to be supportive of innovation as Joni has been at the forefront of musical innovation for over 30 years. > Will we ever see a Joni tribute album? Well daggummit, we have seen THREE this year alone - Steve Klink's "Places To Come From, Places To Go", Big Yellow Taxi, and the SUPERB Rachel Z Trio's "Moon At The Window". Add to that the duo from David Lahm, the "Back To The Garden" Canadian Tribute, the Swedish "A Bird That Whistles" project, the FLAWLESS Lydia van Dam "Both Sides Now", the very flawed "Came Upon A Child of God" from the UK, and that doesn't even count the 11 covers CD's I assembled this year...am I leaving any out? I don't understand why people consider this one release to be THE tribute. Of course I am as anxious as anyone to hear it! > Is the reason it hasn't yet been released is because so many > *famous* bands are pissed that they aren't included on it? My guess is that Joni doesn't want it out there, for whatever reason...maybe her insecurity that someone would go to the record store and buy a copy in lieu of buying one of her cd's and she might be out a dime or two.
