^ That's an interesting sequence of clips! I wouldn't 've believed you if you'd told me that JJ had covered a Moondog song but can't deny the evidence...
Good for her for choosing some off-center material, though I thought the live version shows some of the failings of her performances. The song is kind of dragged out with no fresh musical ideas and relies on JJ to fill the gap with some heart-felt but ultimately banal details.

Yep, Me and Bobbie McGee, Piece of My Heart are prob my favourites too.

@ MicShazam: I know you like female vocalists, but my guess is that JJ's voice will be a bit too harsh for you.
