A Conversation With Judy Collins
As I mention in this episode, it’s possible the world may not have gotten to know Joni Mitchell the way it ultimately did without Judy Collins, who was an early champion of her work in New York’s Greenwich Village and whose covers of “Both Sides, Now,” “Chelsea Morning” and others helped put Joni in a position to continue soaring upwards.For those unfamiliar with the story: It was Judy who once got a call in the middle of the night from Al Kooper, who told her she simply must hear this new singer-songwriter. He put Joni on the...

It’s amazing how crippling and yet how wondrous social media can be. Without it, I would not have learned about a talented, East Coast indie band called Shallow Alcove. I stumbled upon an Instagram video of members Grace Krichbaum and Dan Harris doing a cover of Joni’s “California.”Grace and Dan were kind enough to come on the show to talk about Joni’s influence on their work, plus the trials and tribulations of being touring musicians in 2025.Coincidentally, Shallow Alcove has a brand new EP out today called Doggy Paddle.

A Conversation With the Big Yellow Taxi Band
Cover bands get a bad rap. With the right people, they can be beautiful tributes to music that deserves to live on in local venues or online, made by musicians who care.Big Yellow Taxi, a cover band based in Massachusetts that performs the music of Joni Mitchell, is an excellent example of that. I recently spoke with two of its members, vocalist Teresa Lorenco and multi-instrumentalist Rich Cahillane, about bringing Joni’s music to audiences who might not otherwise get to hear it and how they’ve grown as artists themselves along the way.
