Brandi Carlile-Joni Mitchell cover of “River”. 12/13/17-House of Blues Anaheim, California

[@RobinBQuinn-kv2wm]

I never realized the voice that Brandi Carlile has -- freakin' INCREDIBLE!

[@claramedeiros5446]

It's hard to take her talent in... It's amazing to the point where you have to ask yourself, "What is this I'm hearing?" What? What? And you just don't want it to end... Magical...Meant to be.

I haven’t heard anyone sing this song as well as Joni until Brandi.

[@shymmer1863]

I love this version. Train also does this very well :-)

Robert Downey Jr.

Linda Ronstadt....

Brandi and Joni will always be my true loves, but if you haven't heard Sarah Eaglesons (hope I spelled that last name right) cover it's beautiful. She also has original music you can find on here and Spotify. She reminds me of a little Brandi all those years ago when I first saw her.

MY GOD, MY GOD. YOU SUNG THAT SONG LADY. GOD GAVE YOU THE BEST VOICE I EVER HEARD. THANKS.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

Beautiful cover! I know how much the Indigo Girls mean to Brandi, so as much as I say that Joni would be proud of this gorgeous cover, I bet that Emily Saliers is also beaming in pride. Absolutely stunning.

[@sguestphotography]

The version she did on the Piano at the Blue Concert just wrecked me. So damn beautiful. I love this song.

[@mojogypsy]

I love everything this woman sings! ❤❤❤

[@kathrynroos8860]

Is this the new Joni? I think so! Such a voice! I heard her on the 61st Grammys and can't get enough!

[@xbackwards8776]

Omg Brandi. You have the best cover of Joni Mitchells song. Your voicing is real, pure and truly plaintiff. Thank you for easing my sad feeling today.

[@kitkattbar176]

Thanks for bringing that song back. Excellent!

[@marywhitman9283]

No one does it like Brandi, amazing!!!

[@jennimadden1061]

[@lifeinsidemusic]

[@christiandaugherty1267]

Friends, if you see this, it's one of my favorite versions. -Chrissy was here, 2021

[@mikaelzerbib]

Brandie! you are the only one in the world (besides Joni) that can own this song! Please please make a recording of this song I know you will even better than at Kennedy's!!!!!!!

[@triffus]

She and Beyonce are my bucket list concerts. Plus KD Lang.

[@cliffsandifer3877]

she could sing Puff the magic dragon.....they d love it.

[@shelbysulak1953]

Amazing!!!! Did u happen to film The Mother and everything she said leading up to that song?! My camera stopped working when I went to film her :(((

[@KB-ft6cf]

Sorry. I didn’t. Are you on the Brandi Carlile face book fan page? There are a lot of videos from last night. Her into to the Mother was so sweet and special. There has to be footage out there somewhere..

[@richardhornbostel3958]

How could anyone compare her to Joni?

[@UwishUknew]

Maybe you can try asking Joni herself? She is one of the Many that have said it.

[@friendoflife2416]

She gets it all wrong- Sounds like country western. and all the extra vibrato, and meaningful pauses, please!

[@seycas118]

I love Brandi, and I listened to her singing this till the end, but in my lowly opinion, she butchered this song ... too much free styling with the lines. So disappointed ...

[@hopehalperin6825]

There are lots of other versions of her singing this. Her voice is incredible. This is probably not my favorite version of this song.

[@Baskahegan]

This is wretched, Carlisle has the audacity to dare to use Mitchell. She's horrible, and a poseur
