In this song, her voice has a bit of Rickie Lee Jones in it:













and my favourite cover of any Joni Mitchel song:

The Sonic Youth tunings are very Joni

Here's a complete album that reminds me of Joni Mitchell, in her best moments, tripping on acid, with Tim Buckley's backing band (circa 1969) minus Tim, in the studio...

First time I heard of her.

I have just listened to the album.

I can hear some similarities, though she sounds a bit more psychedelic, but she has Joni's talent.

Thanks.

and besides that:

So that's where they got that name!

I didn't know.

maybe 0:10 to 0:17 of the 5:15 song








I still wonder if this is a cover.

I never thought of k.d. lang to be like Joni.

Yet, as I think of it, both grew up in Canada's west, both got a fair amount of fame from the US, both played with styles, and the lyrics of the song aren't too unlike that which Joni would write.

Ditto with your last choice, insofar of decent lyrics—somewhat dense (for me that's often a good thing), country but not quite country—especially the human beat-boxing. :D

Sharp. :D Same with the other artists linked. Joni's influence looms large there.
