I didn't think that anyone could sing this song but Joni. Yet, Brandi did and honored Joni yet made the song her own. Brandi, Iam new to your talent but stunned by it. I also have seen you in efforts to honor women like Judy Collins and Dolly Parton and thank you for this. We should be honoring women from the past while they are still alive. Yet, Brandi, your effort shows the incredible joy of just doing music with great talents, which you are and letting your ego take a stop back. New fan. WOW
You named 3 of my favorite songs as well. This is brilliant. I grew up on Joni, Leonard too..throw in some Ricki Lee. I'm a late coming to you, Ms. Carlisle. It appears I have been missing something truly special. I hope that thank you is enough. (Now if you cover "Company" by Rick Lee...?)
I cried so hard when she sang the first line "Blue" is one of the greatest albuns of all time, an emotional show stopping work of art with so much dephtness and wisdom and "A Case of You" is one of the most beautiful break up songs ever Brandi you did justice to this classic, made it your own and at the same time paid tribute to the legendary queen of folk Joni Mitchell
Brandi Carlisle is one of the best female singers ever!..My absolute favourite by far!..The talent that this beautiful woman has far surpasses any other in my opinion!..Love her!..
There is no competition here, Brandi, and you know it - the word is complimentary!... Yet to be complete - what you did with Joni recently anchoring her on stage at Newport - simply being there with you to support - incomparable... Complete. Your voices are unique - wow.
One of the most incredibly gorgeous and touching covers EVER!! Believe me, I know I fall short attempting to describe this. Words just do not do it justice. You just gotta listen and feel with all your senses. Damn, this rendition moves me!!
Covering Joni Mitchell is next to impossible, and it usually totally misses. Brandi doesn't miss--she captures Joni like only Joni could do. Truly amazing.
I got goosebumps at the end of the first verse...Brandi only you can cover Ms. Mitchell's "Case of You" and do it justice. This live version is THE BEST I've heard! Thank you to two phenomenal women!🙏🙏🙏
Good, better, best...Why compare? A singular performance of a singular song. Thanks to the ladies. We now know pure talent on a scale that can't be compared to anything else, ever.
Brandi loves this song as much as I do, but the only audience I'll sing it for is my shower head, every morning for 40 years. I can feel her deep love and respect for this piece in how she sings it.
I usually hear people sing Joni songs, and hang up 3 bars into the song. Three exceptions: 1. Emmylou Harris singing Magdelane Laundries, 2.Cyndi Lauper singing Carey, 3. You. Beautifully done
I’m exactly the same. Very hard to be done. Like anyone else trying to sing Freddy Mercury. Near impossible. But Brandi does it beautifully. Also the only other non Joni version of this I enjoy is by the beautiful Portuguese singer, Ana Moura. Stunning.
Tori Amos did a great cover of " A Case Of You" too, if you or others reading this wanna have a listen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TZQ9OgbepXI.html
OK, it’s verified… i cannot hear Brandi render Joni’s masterpiece without bawling uncontrollably to be blest by the Muse herself signifies fidelity to the source kydos
You did nail it. That is like someone covering "People" by Barbara Streisand. You really don't want to do it but you got inside that song and it let you sing it as your own. It included all the feels of what it meant to you with out getting in the way of the story. Thank you for keeping all those memories alive one more time.
This is a true case of reverence for the artist. I love this song and have seen many people cover it. But this is a true love story. Brandi is extraordinary!
My brother showed me the song Coyote on his phone, he said, look, Joni AND Dylan in the same song. Wow, and what a cool song and with a Nick Drake-esk guitar riff. Joni is still alive isn´t she? I asked. Yes, ha said, I can´t remember any news about her..? So googeling her name I read she had a brain anurism in 2015 that made her lose her ability to walk and talk. But then I saw a live video from 2022 where she sings A Case of You with Brandi Carlile, and how good that made me feel. Back on stage, hitting those notes perfectly and a woman called Brandi truely lifted the song to another level of beauty. So this week I have been blessed with two songs new to me "Coyote" and "A case of you", and a new artist to me Brandi Carlile, and I have been playing them on repeat. I think this will unvail a box of gems, or box of paint in different colours, if you will, for me over the next few months or years. Also, I really have to go visit Canada some day. (I live in Norway)
All the guys in the 70s used to have a couple Joni tapes in the car. Used to tell each other it was just for the girls to listen to. But she touched us too. Blue has to be one of my favorite records. You did this so well and hopefully you perform this when I see your show this September!!!
Well done Carlile! It's strange, I've heard this song very often in the very first version, sung by Joni and I never thought about this song being so hard to sing, but yes, Carlile did it very very well.
