After thinking about Joni's pre-WTRF & post-WTRF covers, I went on a little fact-finding trip, and thought I would share the info I found thinking that it may be of interest to somebody, although I have no idea who, other than Hell who's a trivia junkie like me.
Anyway, breaking down Joni's catalogue and looking at them individually gives the following: STAS: 10 original songs (os), 8 have been covered (80%) Clouds: 9 os, 8 covers (89%) LOTC: 12 os, 10 covers (83%) Blue: 10 os, 10 covers (100%) FTR: 12 os, 8 covers (67%) C&S: 10 os, 7 covers (70%) HOSL: 10 os, 8 covers (80%) Hejira: 9 os, 9 covers (100%) DJRD: 10 os, 4 covers (40%) Mingus: 6 os, 5 covers (83%) WTRF: 10 os, 6 covers (60%) DED: 10 os, 0 covers CMIARS: 9 os, 1 cover (11%) NRH: 10 os, 2 covers (20%) TI: 9 os, 2 covers (22%)* TTT: 9 os, 1 cover (11%) *This is actually a bit of a stretch as the two are David Crosby's "Yvette In English" which he had a hand in writing, and Big Yellow Taxi's demo version of "Sunny Sunday". It could be argued that neither of these is legit. Anyway, maybe in another 25 years this will look drastically different - who knows? Bob NP: John Mellencamp, "Theo & Weird Henry"
