Carey - Joni Mitchell Cover (Feat. Kami Maltz) 

The character of Kami's voice matches Joni's so closely it's uncanny. I mean, slightly different timbre, slightly different vibrato but her cadence and pitch is spot on. Kami basically nails it.

She does Joni justice. Very impressive.

You made me cry. A 67 year old man. You sound so much like a younger Joni Mitchell. Love this. Thanks.

Josh. Make an album with her. I will buy it immediately. Wow.

Mindblowing amount of talent on that couch...

there is hope in this world... the music didn't die after all.

This is phenomenal. Girl’s got crazy good chops, without being yet another breathy, mid Atlantic accented hipster chanteuse. Well done the both of you!

Anyone who can sing Joni has my respect. This is great! As a dulcimer player, I am impressed by your ability on the instrument.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love her voice. The highs sound so wonderful and happy and bright. This was such a great arrangement, thanks so much you two!

0:00 “jeez I dunno this vocal is pretty iconic I’m not sure anyone will be able...”.0:14 “holy Moses okay nope she nailed it that sounds exquisitive”

A very brave thing to do - cover a Joni song - and you guys performed brilliantly! Wonderful job!!! This is coming from a 66-year-old Joni fan since Court and Spark. Excellent!

I can't remember the last time I felt so thankful for a RU-vid recommendation.

Her voice is incredible!

I am so impressed. Joni's melodies require incredibly smooth switching between vocal registers and Kami Maltz is the only person to have achieved this with Joni's fluidity and soul. Incredible. Josh, your guitar playing and vocals are equally impressive. This series of the two of you doing Joni's music is a real favourite. Thank you.

Kami, you have my husband and I in tears. Never heard anyone able to sing Joni. You are amazing. Will listen to this often! Thank you!

I spent twenty-five plus years playing saxophone for a living before turning to "settle down" as a commercial advertising photographer, marry a school teacher and raise two daughters. I turned 65 a few days ago and life has slowed a bit, though a lifetime as a six-hour sleeper of no particular schedule still often sees me running down something of interest into the wee hours. This evening now finds me, iPad in lap and discovering this channel so full of life and love and music; so very much music, it makes my heart sing. I've long been a Joni fan and had such a crush on her in my youth and beyond that I must of seen her in concert more than a dozen times. Perusing Josh's channel for a couple hours now and discovering these two playing this music so beautifully has truly restored my faith in knowing there are young musicians that understand the breadth and depth of the musical heritage they are now responsible for keeping alive. "Oh, I'm a mean ol' daddy but I like you... I like you I like you I like you..." And how could I not now feel a bit of a crush on Kami too. Cheers and "Carey" on...

I think Joni would love this version.👍

Who else can't stop listening to this? Please do more Joni covers

Beautiful. Please make more Joni covers.

Just WOW you two. Thanks for the joy!! ❤❤

The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey But it's really not my home My fingernails are filthy I've got beach tar on my feet And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you fine Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe And I will buy you a bottle of wine And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and Smash our empty glasses down Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers A round for these friends of mine Let's have another round for the bright red devil, who Keeps me in this tourist town Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you I like you, I like you, I like you Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam Or maybe I'll go to Rome And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now The night is a starry dome And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll Beneath the Matalla Moon Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, but it's Really not my home Maybe it's been too long a time since I was Scramblin' down in the street Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that Fancy French cologne Oh Carey, get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) I'll put on my finest silver (I'll put on some silver) We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe, have fun tonight I said, oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight

I am a hardcore Joni fan for over 25 years... you guys nailed this! Keep it coming!

This gets better every time I listen to it. He voice is just so perfect for covering Joni. I really would love to hear you do "A Case of You".

I've seen Joni four times in my younger day (I'm 70 ) and you two have this profound energy as if you had created this song !! I'm stunned .... Thanks !!♡!!

It's so satisfying hearing her hit that high C# so well

This is insane. You two have now made two of my favourite covers/originals on RU-vid. Looooooordy you sound GOOD together :D

Incredible!!

Lucky me for finding this....Lucky you for having the gifts.... Please continue to share...

Never heard anyone cover Joni Mitchell before...that was beautiful!

Nailed it .... very nice ty. Nice to see some young folks playing REAL music for a change ... lovely

I close my eyes and I'm back in the sixties, perfect!!!

Not sure how I missed this many years ago. Insanely good, Kami's voice is so good and your Talent as always is superb Josh, I really dug the Palmer tuning giving that Steven Stills vibe. I'm usually not a huge Joni fan but wow this really killed it. Thank you!

Blown away by Kami's vocals.

Loves how she plays the dulcimer - truly a sweet sound.

One of my favourite covers I've found on RU-vid!

I can't explain it but these videos give me hope.

I haven't been able to get on RU-vid for the past couple of weeks without listening to this about 14 times in a row. I'm a huge Joni Mitchell fan and love what you did this one. Fantastic work!

Love your Joni Mitchell covers, vocals and instrumentals, wow... Glad to see another generation playing Joni....so well...

Loved it. Thank you both!

This is a phenomenal performance, thanks so much!

What a enchanting voice - Kami sounds so much like Joni. Mezmerising voice.

She has the voice of angel. Does this song perfectly

This 11th jump always gets me.... so beautiful

You two nailed it! Wonderful, well done!

It warms my heart to find so many kindred spirits here on Josh his channel. Greetings to all who love and appreciate the extremely creative music of the sixties and seventies. Thanks for bringing us together with your talent, Josh!

This is simply phenomenal

Love it! Big Joni fan from the days when we were all younger! Nice to see the dulcimer used!

You both absolutely did this song justice. the guitar playing and vocals are fantastic!!!

That guitar tuning is Bruce Palmer Db5 modal tuning, Stephen Stills used it for many of his famous songs, he played love the one you’re with in C5 on the record and D5 live, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes was in E5, as was Carry On/Questions and 4:20

You guys have to collaborate more this and the last song you did were both incredible!

Just wonderfully uplifting, thank you!!

Beautiful! Lots of love from Joni’s home 🇨🇦

I've listened to this so many times. It's so, so good.

Absolutely stunning cover.....outstanding.

beautiful cover!!! Great musicianship

Great guitar arrangement, Josh!

WOW! just WOW!!

Can't believe this tuning exist. Awesome playing, great singing. Now I have to tune my guitar.

Yea I'm back ,, this is my new fav go to. You both sound beautiful together,, ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Just got this as a suggested video, but it seems I liked it already somewhere in the past. No problem! Always happy to hear this again! As a matter of fact, I'm going to both of your channels and go on a Joni binge right now!

beautiful voice! what a nice arrangement!

Pretty big Joni fan from her hometown of Saskatoon here, and IMHO this is more true to the early Joni singer songwriter vision than the heavily produced version on Blue, and sounds much more complete than the live dulcimer only versions from back in the day that I've seen. This is what Joni would have done if there were two of her!! Kami's voice is perfect for Joni covers, and she does a fantastic job on the dulcimer. Josh is obviously having great fun exploring Joni style open tuning, and as always, his vocal accompaniment serves the song perfectly.

She has a lovely voice! Very musical theater-esque!

Absolute perfection guys. Love you!

I cried too. Such a beautiful voice. So aligned with Joni Mitchell's energy and the song, but with both of your own unique gifts added. Thank you both so much for your beautiful music and musicianship.

Lovely! Having to concentrate on the instrument so hard served you well - no "affectation" and so close to Mitchell's original purity for almost all of the song - really fantastic - thank you!

One word.... PERFECTION!

As a person who has loved the music of Joni Mitchell since the early '70's, and who has built and played dulcimers as long, thank you both for a beautiful memory!

These two have so much musical chemistry

So much chemistry between you two! It's insane!

absolutely love this!!!

im always finding something else in your catalogue of videos that just blows me away. this is amazing

more collaborations with Kami please. really enjoy them!

Duuuuuuuuude come on. You are really an inspiration for anyone who loves doing exactly what you do, having a good time playing good music with incredible people. Thanks for sharing your work and introducing me to incredible music!

Kami! Nailed it. Josh, amazing as always.

You guys NAILED IT! Thank you for the nostalgia, I love it.

By far the best cover of "Carey"! Amazing!

God damn that was good, you guys.

Awesome guys....my fav song by Joni...Canadian dude here...big smile thank you!

I've listen to this many times and I still think she sings this just like Joni! She has incredible control of her instrument. The arrangement, the care and the sound are just amazing! 10th time listening to this! Guitar work is incredible. Nothing else to say. TY!

Just noticed 0:53 - reposition Dulcimer without missing a beat - keep playing - Brilliant

Ahhh. thanks so much for doing a Joni tune.

Beautiful cover!!

This fabulous song from Blue is coming up for 50 years old but you two have made it sound as fresh as a daisy. More than that I can't help thinking yours is even better than Joni's. What d'you say Joni?

What a great version of this song! Kami's voice is perfect. I could never get the rhythm right when I tried to play this song.

i am 37 old man but you make me cry half the time i am listening to this.

oh i am so happy this is my favorite song of the album. Thanks for this amazing cover !!

I had youtube playing in the background and was grooving to this tune not knowing who I was listening to until I heard Josh's voice. Killing it as usual. Keep it up!!!

This is beautiful! Great job guys.

That was fantastic guys. You make a great duet! Thanks for the memories

This just lifted my heart. Thank you

How am I just now hearing this? Everything about it is perfect.

Kami just understand Joni - she is really incredible at translating her songs into covers. Love these two!

This was perfect and so beautifully done in every sense!!! Lovely!

i love how happy he looks here

Super les artistes .... vous m’avez rempli le cœur de bonheur. Bravo !

GOD level. LOVE!

Wow, this is incredible

How come that we 70+ like this so much? Answer: We can see ourselves as young, and we really like all young people singing and playing as fantastic as this. I have a huge hope for the future listening to this.

It sunny, I'm heading into my studio, and there's young people out there singing Joni Mitchell covers. Screw the news..... :-)
