Joni heading for 90

[johncorrigan]

her singing voice is back.
I'm not sure how that's happened, but it is excellent news.
Looking forward to the film too. And hopefully an album - but not on Spotify which she has left...

Here's the dusted-up version from Joni's Gershwin Awards show, Global - bit unsteady on the feet, but voice as beautiful as ever. So great to hear.

to celebrate I've changed the thread's title. Here's hoping...

This live album from 1978 has just appeared on Spotify (*) - or else, popped up in my recommendations. Who knows nowadays.
the whole album is here on YT.

Unlike the rest of us, it has not aged.
It is still excellent....well worth another listen.

(*) i am intrigued by this as, together with Neil Young, she pulled all her music from Spotify a while back. A quick search on Spoot and it looks as if she has relented and allowed all her live albums back on there. Or maybe they always were.

Seems Joni's releasing a recording of the concert at Newport in the next couple of months, Global. Wonder if she's writing any new stuff?

Indeed moving - what a shame some audience members felt the need to be vocal rather than showing more respect and just listen in awe!
What a lovely simple accompaniment!

Very worrying - Recently when listening to Radio Cornwall I heard the start of Ed Sheeran’s ‘With my eyes closed’ - not knowing what the song was or who was singing - the voice sounded like late 60s Joni!
