Carey - Joni Mitchell Cover (Feat. Kami Maltz)

[@helmanfrow]

The character of Kami's voice matches Joni's so closely it's uncanny. I mean, slightly different timbre, slightly different vibrato but her cadence and pitch is spot on. Kami basically nails it.

[@Ron71997]

Gotta admit this is one of the best covers...no one can sing this song like Joni back in 1970...but this is so so good. Who doesn't just love Joni Mitchell over 80 years old now ....

[@TheVoodooVegetable]

She does Joni justice. Very impressive.

[@tonywaterhouse1950]

Claudio biondi

[@shanemccarthy1742]

So impressive

[@AlanHope2013]

She has the perfect voice for learning the dulcimer. If you can sing like that, it's like the Universe requires it of you!

[@aspenbanjo]

Josh. Make an album with her. I will buy it immediately. Wow.

[@hopefulguitarist7532]

ditto

[@julianoliver3006]

I will buy 500 copies

[@seancummins9559]

Ditto

[@sandisanderson1708]

I agree

[@rickdalbey6009]

You made me cry. A 67 year old man. You sound so much like a younger Joni Mitchell. Love this. Thanks.

[@Dulcimerea]

68, and me too.

[@orsie200]

rick dalbey, Got you beat at 73 next month, but this gets to me too.

[@HumanPatientAssn]

my thoughts exactly - same age as you - these kids are so refreshing - the 60's were not ALL acid rock - Joni's Blue is still a Masterpiece - this kids do it justice, don't they?

[@rejeanguay6336]

Me too and I'm also 67,just pure greatness

[@alistairewen9558]

Me also.

[@davidgrenzing7852]

Mindblowing amount of talent on that couch...

[@budandbean1]

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love her voice. The highs sound so wonderful and happy and bright. This was such a great arrangement, thanks so much you two!

[@adrianodias3031]

The highes sound of her voice sounds like Johnny Mitchell

[@beeleo]

@Adriano Dias, "...Johnny Mitchell?" Johnny??? What??? LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Sorry... that's all I can say... HAHAHAHA!

[@budandbean1]

I bet the guy means Joni Mitchell. She does sound just like Joni, highs and lows and in betweens... I’d love to hear her sing Big Yellow Taxi come to think of it...

[@beeleo]

Buddy, I'm not familiar with Joanie Mitchell, but if she sings this good... I'll have to check her out. ;) lol.

[@tantraman10]

AND, finally, it's JONI MITCHELL

[@morriswanchuk4634]

This is phenomenal. Girl’s got crazy good chops, without being yet another breathy, mid Atlantic accented hipster chanteuse. Well done the both of you!

[@marcillioficino4663]

_"yet another breathy, mid Atlantic accented hipster chanteuse."_ 😂🤣😫😂🤣

[@NeglectedField]

I'm totally stealing that one

[@davis9971]

Anyone who can sing Joni has my respect. This is great! As a dulcimer player, I am impressed by your ability on the instrument.

[@beatrizdesa7601]

I can't remember the last time I felt so thankful for a KZbin recommendation.

[@yaisum]

0:00 “jeez I dunno this vocal is pretty iconic I’m not sure anyone will be able...”.0:14 “holy Moses okay nope she nailed it that sounds exquisitive”

[@SempreGumby]

You click and hope for the best and then you get blown away. Always trust Josh!

[@ScottWilliams009]

I am so impressed. Joni's melodies require incredibly smooth switching between vocal registers and Kami Maltz is the only person to have achieved this with Joni's fluidity and soul. Incredible. Josh, your guitar playing and vocals are equally impressive. This series of the two of you doing Joni's music is a real favourite. Thank you.

[@fernandoccintra]

Her voice is incredible!

[@gordonmacdonald299]

there is hope in this world... the music didn't die after all.

[@jefflindeman]

I spent twenty-five plus years playing saxophone for a living before turning to "settle down" as a commercial advertising photographer, marry a school teacher and raise two daughters. I turned 65 a few days ago and life has slowed a bit, though a lifetime as a six-hour sleeper of no particular schedule still often sees me running down something of interest into the wee hours. This evening now finds me, iPad in lap and discovering this channel so full of life and love and music; so very much music, it makes my heart sing. I've long been a Joni fan and had such a crush on her in my youth and beyond that I must of seen her in concert more than a dozen times. Perusing Josh's channel for a couple hours now and discovering these two playing this music so beautifully has truly restored my faith in knowing there are young musicians that understand the breadth and depth of the musical heritage they are now responsible for keeping alive. "Oh, I'm a mean ol' daddy but I like you... I like you I like you I like you..." And how could I not now feel a bit of a crush on Kami too. Cheers and "Carey" on...

[@saraswati1386]

A dozen times is impressive! I saw her 4x; she didn't do alot of shows after awhile 💕

[@shimreef]

Bruh you’re married

[@jefflindeman]

@@shimreef And I’m an old guy; far too old for Kami. A “crush” has nothing to do with sex, age or marriage status. It’s not like imma gonna creep on her. LOL It’s more of a spiritual thang. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jefflindeman]

@@saraswati1386 ~Well, I’ll admit that a”dozen” is probably a bit of an exaggeration... but probably at least eight times! 🤣✌️(I saw her with Jaco! Exquisite.) Cheers

[@Bp323]

Who else can't stop listening to this? Please do more Joni covers

[@Raymond-rr5iv]

I've seen Joni four times in my younger day (I'm 70 ) and you two have this profound energy as if you had created this song !! I'm stunned .... Thanks !!♡!!

[@jeannie1renee2]

This gets better every time I listen to it. He voice is just so perfect for covering Joni. I really would love to hear you do "A Case of You".

[@thestrictlynoparking]

Really must have this one on the list😀

[@rachelbrodeur2600]

Kami, you have my husband and I in tears. Never heard anyone able to sing Joni. You are amazing. Will listen to this often! Thank you!

[@andrewd.7894]

It's true, no one ever does her justice in their covers except this chick

[@daniloverissimo7250]

The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey But it's really not my home My fingernails are filthy I've got beach tar on my feet And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you fine Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe And I will buy you a bottle of wine And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and Smash our empty glasses down Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers A round for these friends of mine Let's have another round for the bright red devil, who Keeps me in this tourist town Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you I like you, I like you, I like you Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam Or maybe I'll go to Rome And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now The night is a starry dome And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll Beneath the Matalla Moon Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver) You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, but it's Really not my home Maybe it's been too long a time since I was Scramblin' down in the street Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that Fancy French cologne Oh Carey, get out your cane (Carey get out your cane) I'll put on my finest silver (I'll put on some silver) We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe, have fun tonight I said, oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight

[@somdeepadas5525]

Beautiful. Please make more Joni covers.

[@richardagin134]

I am a hardcore Joni fan for over 25 years... you guys nailed this! Keep it coming!

[@SlappeeGaming]

This is insane. You two have now made two of my favourite covers/originals on KZbin. Looooooordy you sound GOOD together :D

[@ezequiel98212]

Slappee Gaming couldn’t agree more! Always find some song to smile about when he posts these. Tears at times for years gone by but beautiful nonetheless.

[@SeverinGomboc_Musik]

Can't believe this tuning exist. Awesome playing, great singing. Now I have to tune my guitar.

[@illusorynj]

Love your Joni Mitchell covers, vocals and instrumentals, wow... Glad to see another generation playing Joni....so well...

[@BenRabinowitz-1]

Good job, young people. May you continue to use your talents to entertain others.

[@alexanderwes5204]

It warms my heart to find so many kindred spirits here on Josh his channel. Greetings to all who love and appreciate the extremely creative music of the sixties and seventies. Thanks for bringing us together with your talent, Josh!

[@TonyG111]

A very brave thing to do - cover a Joni song - and you guys performed brilliantly! Wonderful job!!! This is coming from a 66-year-old Joni fan since Court and Spark. Excellent!

[@Jacktown79]

I haven't been able to get on KZbin for the past couple of weeks without listening to this about 14 times in a row. I'm a huge Joni Mitchell fan and love what you did this one. Fantastic work!

[@Sabastianspreadworth]

I close my eyes and I'm back in the sixties, perfect!!!

[@againstthegrain3094]

Nailed it .... very nice ty. Nice to see some young folks playing REAL music for a change ... lovely

[@LoneRevD]

Not sure how I missed this many years ago. Insanely good, Kami's voice is so good and your Talent as always is superb Josh, I really dug the Palmer tuning giving that Steven Stills vibe. I'm usually not a huge Joni fan but wow this really killed it. Thank you!

[@Justin_Hikes]

more collaborations with Kami please. really enjoy them!

[@Phil72099]

Loves how she plays the dulcimer - truly a sweet sound.

[@aman4allseasons100]

Just noticed 0:53 - reposition Dulcimer without missing a beat - keep playing - Brilliant

[@siemonblidener652]

This 11th jump always gets me.... so beautiful

[@reedmckenzie]

I had youtube playing in the background and was grooving to this tune not knowing who I was listening to until I heard Josh's voice. Killing it as usual. Keep it up!!!

[@142richiek]

Lucky me for finding this....Lucky you for having the gifts.... Please continue to share...

[@davidviertels728]

What a enchanting voice - Kami sounds so much like Joni. Mezmerising voice.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

How come that we 70+ like this so much? Answer: We can see ourselves as young, and we really like all young people singing and playing as fantastic as this. I have a huge hope for the future listening to this.

[@wildthings01]

I cried too. Such a beautiful voice. So aligned with Joni Mitchell's energy and the song, but with both of your own unique gifts added. Thank you both so much for your beautiful music and musicianship.

[@jillgeary1313]

Love it! Big Joni fan from the days when we were all younger! Nice to see the dulcimer used!

[@mixdawg]

That guitar tuning is Bruce Palmer Db5 modal tuning, Stephen Stills used it for many of his famous songs, he played love the one you’re with in C5 on the record and D5 live, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes was in E5, as was Carry On/Questions and 4:20

[@MP-zc8ej]

I can't explain it but these videos give me hope.

[@mcgubligan5045]

Blown away by Kami's vocals.

[@solomonfaber8026]

I've listen to this many times and I still think she sings this just like Joni! She has incredible control of her instrument. The arrangement, the care and the sound are just amazing! 10th time listening to this! Guitar work is incredible. Nothing else to say. TY!

[@NeglectedField]

It's so satisfying hearing her hit that high C# so well

[@adfollett]

One of my favourite covers I've found on KZbin!

[@rickbullock4331]

I think Joni would love this version.👍

[@sawingate]

As a person who has loved the music of Joni Mitchell since the early '70's, and who has built and played dulcimers as long, thank you both for a beautiful memory!

[@GeratNur]

You guys have to collaborate more this and the last song you did were both incredible!

[@tcoudi]

i am 37 old man but you make me cry half the time i am listening to this.

[@davidhoffmann4114]

She has the voice of angel. Does this song perfectly

[@amaralroberto4999]

The talent of these young people is unbelievable.

[@bradmori53]

Never heard anyone cover Joni Mitchell before...that was beautiful!

[@joninwakey4099]

I keep revisiting this. One of Josh' best collabs..

[@graymouser5609]

Absolutely stunning cover.....outstanding.

[@trooper744]

Beautiful! Lots of love from Joni’s home 🇨🇦

[@ejegallagher]

Lovely! Having to concentrate on the instrument so hard served you well - no "affectation" and so close to Mitchell's original purity for almost all of the song - really fantastic - thank you!

[@alexdickie7724]

Just WOW you two. Thanks for the joy!! ❤❤

[@alexandreinda2595]

Duuuuuuuuude come on. You are really an inspiration for anyone who loves doing exactly what you do, having a good time playing good music with incredible people. Thanks for sharing your work and introducing me to incredible music!

You guys NAILED IT! Thank you for the nostalgia, I love it.

[@ald7157]

Kami your voice could melt the snow off my driveway. Outstanding! 💜👍🔥

[@Leib33]

Just got this as a suggested video, but it seems I liked it already somewhere in the past. No problem! Always happy to hear this again! As a matter of fact, I'm going to both of your channels and go on a Joni binge right now!

[@PaulCarr1]

I've listened to this so many times. It's so, so good.

[@Taintrock]

Kami! Nailed it. Josh, amazing as always.

[@patrickjaroch5084]

im always finding something else in your catalogue of videos that just blows me away. this is amazing

[@SpanishWithNate.]

This is beautiful! Great job guys.

[@twray1835]

Absolute perfection guys. Love you!

[@maxwellfan55]

This fabulous song from Blue is coming up for 50 years old but you two have made it sound as fresh as a daisy. More than that I can't help thinking yours is even better than Joni's. What d'you say Joni?

[@Suire1000]

what a beautiful voice Kami has. Kudos to josh for finding such talent.

[@briangorman1079]

Kami just understand Joni - she is really incredible at translating her songs into covers. Love these two!

[@broomybank]

This is a phenomenal performance, thanks so much!

[@guarrana975]

These two have so much musical chemistry

[@bilahn1198]

Fantastic! Amazing! PLEASE - do more of Joni Mitchell - you nailed this one!

[@pedroluft2346]

So much chemistry between you two! It's insane!

[@tomkho3472]

[@Pako3ac]

By far the best cover of "Carey"! Amazing!

[@bettybradford2399]

Loved it. Thank you both!

[@ParanormalShortStory]

She learned this in a week? Learned the dulcimer to perform it? You're both geniuses.

[@musicmaker1961]

wow great version of this song! She has a wonderful voice and I can't believe she never played Dulcimer until a week before ! any way greatjob love listening to this over and over! thanks for posting!

[@jeffloewi5632]

I love most of what Josh does but this is absolutely wonderful. It gives me chills to know that the music I was raised on, the music that was the background of my life, is being carried on so beautifully by incredibly talented folks like these. Kami's voice is perfect and yes her playing was perfect too. Bravo!

[@KevinQualls]

Amazing! As I've come to expect from you, Josh. Kami's voice is amazing! Thanks for this cover.

[@gibbopg]

Wow ... that was just too good (both of you)! Love seeing people your age singing these great older songs. Joni Mitchell is in my top 3 singer songwriters of all time.

[@kathyobrien2418]

Yea I'm back ,, this is my new fav go to. You both sound beautiful together,, ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@randywhitlow1260]

How am I just now hearing this? Everything about it is perfect.

[@nobodyspecial2718]

Joni would approve. What a beautiful tribute. Kami is note for note, beat for beat from the original, and Josh is merely superb as always.

[@philippebismuth3723]

Super les artistes .... vous m’avez rempli le cœur de bonheur. Bravo !

[@BobBentley]

Just wonderfully uplifting, thank you!!

[@GhostontheMoor]

What a great version of this song! Kami's voice is perfect. I could never get the rhythm right when I tried to play this song.

[@mikeyhalliday]

This was perfect and so beautifully done in every sense!!! Lovely!

[@rickb9238]

That was excellent and Kami has an amazing voice. As always Josh’s guitar playing and singing were terrific. I think Joni Mitchell would approve.👍👍

[@lololql]

oh i am so happy this is my favorite song of the album. Thanks for this amazing cover !!

[@robw95]

Fantastic! If you see the number of views going up exponentially it's me playing it over and over again wishing that I was as young and talented as you two! BTW, for those guitar hacks, like me, who want to strum along at home put a capo on the first fret and play C G & F.

[@gbereterbide6440]

Thank you for the lovely trip back in time. Well done.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Really nice tribute, you retained the original feel and sound, adding your own energy. Thank you

[@bennuballbags2]

Got tears in my eyes, never heard this song actually cover well. Well done, you have a voice to die for

[@almogchaim7943]

YAYY MORE KAMI!!!
