Girlpuppy Covers Joni Mitchell

Every so often there's a song that gets covered repeatedly, seemingly out of nowhere. This year that song could be Joni Micthell's "River." Last week we brought you Margo Price's faithful solo piano cover, and this week sees a cover from Atlanta's Girlpuppy. Girlpuppy's version is also quite faithful, but in a more dreamy kind of way. It's a gorgeous take on a classic Christmas folk song, updated for today. This new version isn't exactly folk, and it certainly isn't pop, or rock. It combines all three genres without truly being either one. It's well worth your time to check this out.

You can listen to Girlpuppy's version of "River" below. You can download a copy via Bandcamp. For more on Girlpuppy, check out the artist's Twitter and Facebook.

Margo Price Covers Joni Mitchell

In a kinda sorta Christmas song, Margo Price has released a cover of Joni Mitchell's beyond iconic song "River." The cover is just Price at a piano singing, and it's absolutely lovely. Recorded live, the song is such a magical and straightforward version of Mitchell's song. It's perfect for fans of either or both artists. Joni Mitchell fans are going to be ultra-critical of any cover of any of her songs, particularly this one. I can't see even the biggest Mitchell purist not enjoying Price's version of "River." It's also such a showcase for Price's talent that even fans of her unfamiliar with Mitchell are going to become enamored with the cover.
