Show Notes

JONI SINGS THE STANDARDS! Aleeya Wilson (Death In Space) joins us virtually to discuss Joni's orchestral and big band covers album of "The Great American Songbook". Was the title an attempt to trick casual fans, or a concession to the record company (who wanted to trick casual fans)? How many sides does love have? How many musicians does it take to overwhelm Joni's voice? Does even Joni want to hear what Joni would write about the world in 2000? How is Don Henley to blame for this? What do we even know about clouds at all? Where exactly are we in this fictitious relationship? Does Joni prefer the idea of the possibility of being in love in future to the messy unpredictability of being in love with an actual person in the present? Don't we all? Join us for another look at some Canadian this week on Detours and Outliers.
