Bjork, Lang, McLachlan worship at the folk altar

The CD A Tribute to Joni Mitchell will be released this spring and will include covers of Mitchell tunes by some of our favorite people. Check out this track list:

• Sufjan Stevens - 'Free Man In Paris'
• Bjork - 'The Boho Dance'
• Caetano Veloso - 'Dreamland'
• Brad Mehldau - 'Don't Interrupt The Sorrow'
• Cassandra Wilson - 'For The Roses'
• Prince - 'A Case Of You'
• Sarah McLachlan - 'Blue'
• Annie Lennox - 'Ladies Of The Canyon'
• Emmylou Harris - 'Magdalene Laundries'
• Elvis Costello - 'Edith And The Kingpin'
• k.d. Lang - 'Help Me'
• James Taylor - 'River'

They could have easily made a triple CD with all of the fabulous Mitchell material (and talented Mitchell followers who would have surely loved to cover her) to choose from, but this looks like a strong collection. McLachlan recently covered "River" (one of my faves) on her CD Wintersong.
