<<I wonder about his relationship with Joni. It seems a bit prickly, but I suspect
there is a lot of mutual respect. Their collaboration on "Yvette in
English" produced a wonderful song...I wish they'd do a few more together.>>
I really enjoyed reading David Crosby's autobiography. Some of it was tough to take
because of its harsh honesty in dealing with his addiction problems, but I gained a
deeper appreciation of him. His voice has ALWAYS been a thing of wonder. The way he
can harmonize instinctively and knows exactly where a melody is going, plus throws in
harmonic notes that you wouldn't ordinarily think about...
And his love & respect for Joni is VERY evident (why do you refer to it as
'prickly'?), everytime he introduces "Yvette in English" or "For Free" in concert, he
gushes about how great a writer she is and gives her the "lion's share" of the writing
credit for "Yvette".
I'd love to see Joni work with some other GOOD composers (Larry Klein not included), I
think it might stimulate her in a way that she has been unable to do on her own for
awhile.
So who would be some good contenders? Personally, I would love to hear some
collaborations between Joni and Elvis Costello.
