Aoife O'Donovan - "Coyote" [Live]

[@bobvangorder830]

Hands down, the BEST cover of this song ever recorded!

[@donalduck6212]

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone else cover it, certainly because it's such an unusual and difficult song. It would be hard to pull off a half-decent cover of Coyote. This version is incredible all around, especially the singing.

[@jamesfrangione8448]

Always LOVED this performance. For my money, no one has ever come as close to achieving Joni Mitchell’s vocal nuances as well as Aoife O’Donovan. And that’s no mean feat. Simply beautiful...but incredibly complex. The band accompanying her here...fire! 🔥🔥🔥Listen to that bass, those congas, and that acoustic rhythm...and those perfectly sprinkled accents of piano, violin, and mandolin. They are completely hitting a groove. Start to finish, this performance is an absolute gem. Savor it. Then repeat. Thank you, Aoife!!! ❤️😊☘️🌹

[@VaMaybayTwo]

Repeat....it is! WOW!!

[@friotaiocht101]

I absolutely agree....

[@andrewhelfand2534]

Best young female artist around. Her voice is beautiful and she is a great guitarist

[@billm2484]

Almost certainly the finest cover of "Coyote" (a Notoriously difficult tune to perform) I've heard in over 40 years. Chris and the stable were Outstanding, never over the top, would, very much, like to have seen more extended instrumental breaks. Absolutely Love Aoife's voice, different intonations make it the same song with a very different feel yet almost exactly the same - quite rare. "Coyote" is a Signature tune and this performance (add extended instrumentals - this should be No less than 12 minutes long) sharply increases its presence as it grows over the decades. Thank you... have been wanting this for quite some time now.

[@aivkara]

I have to agree. I didn't think anyone would ever be able to cover this song and do it justice. Aoife aced it!

[@BobMacNeal]

Stellar cover of classic Joni tune. Bravo.

Big shoes to fill.We all imagining Jaco.

[@majorpain1251]

Don't know how I missed this one. Joni is a perfect challenge for Aoife and she pulls it off incredibly well.

[@DavidLasoff]

My, my, my...you sound just like Joni, Aoife. Thank you!

[@fernandomarques8670]

I heard this music more than 50 times. Both by Aoife O'Donavan as well as Joni Mitchell. Both beautiful in terms of singing, quite different in musical terms. Pat Matheney, and Jaco Pastorious are simply from another planet on Joni Mitchell performance. Aiofe singing is superb.

[@friotaiocht101]

She does this song so well it's not any easy song to do .... kudos to her....

[@jonathanreynolds1797]

You have a voice that’s different and yet compatible with Joni Mitchell … absolute quality

[@TimMeyerMusic]

A truly wonderful song writer covers the songwriter of our time. Perfect.

[@sharonvyse3686]

Ms O'Donovan has such a gift in talent and range from ability to play so many instruments to genre in song . Refreshing! 🇨🇦

[@aivkara]

Unbelievable! I didn't think there was another woman on this planet who could perform this song besides Joni. Seriously. This is a root song, born of pure passion from Joni. Soooo well done Aoife!

[@mikerocklin8502]

Imagine Joni's reaction as she listens to her lyrics delivered as she invisioned so long ago by Aoife and the incredible band 👏👏☮️

[@williambrennan8197]

Doesn't get any better than this Aoife. Soooo much feeling ! The band is great and Chris is a genius.

[@christopherstevenson9737]

She channeled Joni! Fabulous… ❤️❤️❤️😎

[@TeruTeruBoz]

I love this song♪　The house band is awesome!!

[@gregstorkwilson2745]

Aoife, Im a big fan of yours, being a folk musician you, and Sara and Sarah, have been a real inspiration. Your interpretation of this song is a is a shining example of your skill and talent. It seems so effortless. The way you settle so easily into the pocket with the band, with Im sure only minimal rehearsal. This is a VERY complicated song, with an unexpected weird model tuning and strange lyric rhythmic patterns, and you pull it off so effortlessly. You took a great song interpreted it, made it your own, and showed us all how its done. And always with that secret, inviting smile, like you know something we don't. Perhaps the answer is that you simply that you really REALLY enjoy performing music. I shall really miss Live From Here, in part because of gems like this. By the way, I would LOVE to hear the back story of how Sara Bareilles got you and Jarosz to accompany her on her Fire and St Honesty debut. That SNL set FLOORED me! Especially when I noticed you two.

[@juliehill2830]

Perfection... 😘

[@chrisvorster5951]

You flat out nailed this...all of you!

[@chrisvorster5951]

@Aoife O'Donovan thanks for your kind reply. I am a retired schoolteacher,, but also have been a musician for most of my life. I appreciate it when I get comments on my KZbin channel, because it confirms that I have reached another’s heart with my music, something you certainly have done for me and thousands of others. Thank you again.
