A Case of You is one of Joni Mitchell's most famous and widely-covered songs.
Mitchell wrote and recorded "A Case of You" in 1971, during her early 'folk' period. The song was first released on the album Blue, and Mitchell later recorded it on her live album Miles of Aisles. The song can also be found in the Joni Mitchell song collection Both Sides Now. The song appears in the soundtracks to several movies, including Truly Madly Deeply and Practical Magic. It is one of Mitchell's more "Canadian-influenced" songs from that period, with the lyrics containing a reference to Canada's national anthem, "O Canada".
"A Case of You" is widely believed to be about Mitchell's love affair with Leonard Cohen.
The song has been covered by Diana Krall on her Live in Paris album, by k.d. lang on her album, Hymns of the 49th Parallel, and by Prince on the album One Nite Alone... Tori Amos called it one of 5 songs for which she 'would have given her right arm to have written'; it appears on her B-sides collection album More Pink. Allison Crowe performs this song regularly in concert, and it appears on her 2006 album, This Little Bird. The song has been covered by Keller Williams on occasion. Nancy Wilson (guitarist) of Heart (band) also performed this song live and is available on the Live at McGabe's Guitar Shop album. Jane Monheit has also covered this, as well as other Joni Mitchell songs. John Doe (of X) has also covered this song live.
It was covered by Sloan on the Joni Mitchell tribute album Back to the Garden.

joni mitchell woodstock (ladies of the canyon) solo piano http://www.joolsscott.co.uk This is a solo piano performance of joni mitchell's (More) http://www.joolsscott.co.uk This is a solo piano performance of joni mitchell's "Woodstock". "Woodstock" is a song about the Woodstock Music and Art Festival of 1969.
Joni Mitchell wrote the song from what she had heard from then-boyfriend, Graham Nash, about the festival. She had not been there herself, since she was told it would be more advantageous to appear on The Dick Cavett Show by a manager. She wrote this song crying at home watching the show on television. It was later released on her third album, Ladies of the Canyon in 1970, on her Shadows and Light album, and again in 1996 on her Hits album.
Mitchell's original version featured a stark and haunting arrangement - solo vocal, multi-tracked backing vocals and tremoloed Wurlitzer electric piano all performed by Mitchell herself. All subsequent recordings featured a fuller backing band sound.
Prior to release on any album, Mitchell performed "Woodstock" at the 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival, one month after Woodstock. The solo performance can be seen in the festival concert film Celebration at Big Sur (released in 1971). Ironically, Mitchell later developed a well-known distaste for festival gigs.
The song later went on to be hits for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Matthews' Southern Comfort, the latter reaching #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in October 1970. David Crosby in an interview in the documentary Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind said that Mitchell had captured the feeling and importance of the Woodstock festival better than anyone who had been there.
Led Zeppelin incorporated Woodstock's lyrics and structure into live renditions of their song "Dazed and Confused" between 1973 and 1975. This can be seen and heard on the live album The Song Remains The Same as well as the film of the same name, which features a collection of performances (both live and staged) from 1973. The section is used as a preface to the Violin Bow solo. It can be heard on the currently unreleased "Dazed and Confused" section of the video from one of the 1975 Earl's Court concerts. The piano intro also bears strong resemblance to "No Quarter" and Bad Company's self titled hit; "Bad Company".
popular culture. In her 2005 book Break, Blow, Burn, critic Camille Paglia wrote a chapter about the song, honoring it as "possibly the most popular and influential poem composed in English since Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy'. (Less)
