Joni Mitchell - Girl of the North Country (Johnny Cash Show)

[@madcrowmaxwell]

Can you imagine music of this quality on network television today? Neither can I... Two of the greatest folk/country singers of all time singing an epic duet!

[@frozenstrawbs]

one of the best 2 minutes 14 seconds in world history

[@ronaldj1072]

For sure!

[@jamesdecastro9534]

Just splendid!

[@andrewmair7371]

Certainly noteworthy ☝️😊

[@tortuga3030]

Joni's voice is a flowering vine growing around rusty bobbed wire, sunlight through honey, a delicate child lost in the big city...Just the best sweetest female singer to ever walk the earth...

That fence wire is "barbed", not "bobbed".

Nice Barbara Allen reference!

[@alonmnax]

This is a true masterpiece. Albeit not one of the most popular songs that Johnny performed, it's my all time favourite. And Joni is astonishing. Wow

[@whitepanties2751]

And best of all, Bob Dylan does not sing on this version.

[@trackie1957]

@@whitepanties2751 That was irresistible, huh?

[@ag358]

Johnny and Bob did a great job on Johnny cash show. This was probably after the bob- Johnny performance.

[@zurichmilan]

Joni's vocal on this is just incredible

[@pigshitpoet]

i always liked johnny cash's rendition of this song with bob dylan, but joni mitchell takes off where june carter leaves off and leaves bob lookin' for a jet plane! this is a most amazing duet, like the story of the beauty and the beast, it reaches the heart

[@srvfan454]

I could just listen to this all day. in fact i think i will!

[@thewanksta36]

Her range is phenomenal!

[@williefinn4932]

johnny cash had great presence in his voice and appearance, a bit like john wayne...joni was the coolest girl in the world., as well as having a beautiful voice....add in a great bob dylan song and the result is marvellous.

[@johnanderson8096]

Well Well said Willie... X 1000

I love Joni's modulations; what a great voice, and Johnny, of course.

[@cliftop3]

I could never have pictured these two together.

Joni Mitchell was simply from another world, Johnny was caught in ring of fire-- they do this with tenderness and vulnerability

What can be said about theses two incredible singers The Icon Johnny Cash his deep rich voice brings any song too life it's like you feel where he's talking about and then you put Joni Mitchell with him and this sweet beautiful woman with a voice that is so soft and delicate but delivers so much. Pure gold they really should have done an album together.

[@pierluigifigus8266]

What a little jewel of a song...

[@mgreen9316]

The combination of Joni's sweet soprano voice and Johnny's raspy voice is really special

[@georgiegirl182]

How can this beautiful voice of Joni and Johnny Cash, be possible!

[@jennawest5279]

Beautiful, nothing else needs to be said about either of them. They live their lives as they will, we live ours the same. No blame, no shame -

[@kentexican5844]

I love Johnny but Joni was already goose-bumping me before she stood up from the piano. What an awesome combo!

[@kilgore7778]

My goodness, Joni Mitchell's voice is just stellar.

[@srvfan454]

Was there anything better than these two together? She is the perfect female vocal counterpart to Johnny Cash.

[@acemusta]

Joni and J Cash great combo endures forever

[@ttight11]

Joni is 72 years old, of humble beginnings and like many if us, had challenges in her life. I spent many evenings with Joni and listen to her music often. Let's choose to remember all she has given us ... I know I do! I'm blessed to have shared and been even a little part of her life! God bless Joni, is my sentiment.

[@alan4sure]

She smoked like a chimney, it amazes me she's still alive in spite of that.

[@davisworth5114]

@@alan4sure She was traumatized by her long battle with polio when she was nine and began smoking as an antidote to that trauma. Would that she had been diagnosed with PTSD, she could have gained insight and found a more supportive community of friends. Trauma often leads to the development of an intense inner life and understandings that elude "normals'

[@alan4sure]

@@davisworth5114 Really? I never knew about her having polio. I am old enough to have seen a few polio victims as a child, yet today, this stupid growing antivax generation movement believes vaccines are harmful. Maybe if them or their kids all got polio and measles/mumps they would clue in.

[@buster6552]

Joni and Johnny are unreal I thought I already heard the best of Johnny, but after seeing this, I can now say with confidence I have heard his best performance. ❤️

[@andrewsutton9973]

Thats as good as it gets..perfect

[@flautalee3090]

Never heard this performance before. It is so incredibly beautiful. Ty Johnny, Joni, whomever archived this performance, Bob Dylan, KZbin.

[@john9944]

No one that didn't see the Johnny Cash Show doesn't know how influential he was. He was a country super-star who gave entre to his fans to new musicians like Joni and James Taylor who made their first national appearances on his show. This guy was a true stud. Oh, yeah he also gave Dylan his first electric guitar (a Fender Strat) that drove the acoustic folkies nuts and created folk rock.

[@breathize]

He did not give Dylan his 1st electric guitar.

[@jamesw3920]

And Dylan didn't create "folk-rock" ...

[@batmanforpresident9655]

I just saw this unbelievably beautiful and haunting rendition of this Dylan classic on "The Johnny Cash Show" And had to come here to comment. Johnny Cash is my favorite artist of all-time...and he is perfectly matched here with Miss Mitchell. What a beautiful arrangement....as well..just incredible!!!!

[@1974Qball]

One of my fav duets :)

[@martinaxman2033]

um, well considering that he had his own show, and is one of the most well known and recognized country music personalities in the world, I'd say someone knew him when he was alive. What's really impressive is how he reestablished his spot before he passed. He was an amazing personality.

[@Leighsharpe]

I was introduced to Cash via his last four albums he released with Rick Rubin...

[@annwnevelyn]

Two of the most beautiful voices ever. :]

[@petergedd9330]

She is an angel.

[@mkgrunfield]

I think this was Joni at her greatest, about 1971 when she made Blue, her best album. She gives me goose bumps, the versatility of her voice, the emotion she puts into it.

[@Ademarco9003]

two great voices

[@nadominhoca]

Johnny is the most badass talented singer / composer that I eve seen!!!

[@themannydanny]

Beautiful contrast!

[@klausrain111]

Wow, so cool to see my divine Joni again in this video. Johnny is great, but Joni is just out there on her own, so beautiful, so sublime, feminine, and powerful.

[@nadominhoca]

You can clearly see how much she respected him at 2:10... She just knows that she was there with one of the greatest musicians of all time.. incredible!

[@klausrain111]

Yo nado - Yer probably right, she knew that, thought that, etc. Of course, that's what she is, too. I'm finding myself even more moved by her songs, especially her singing and lyrics, now than I was back in the 70s. For me, she's the supreme female musician of all time.

[@walking241]

nadominhoca it's funny that you said that because Joni Mitchell is superior to him in pretty much every category singing songwriting musicianship artistry just everything she's a complete an utter genius but she's been relegated to lesser than cause she's a woman.

[@chanceyboye5699]

joni is the icon here

[@isotropisch82]

They are my favourite male and female artists of that era. But she was 24ish and he was 45ish so he was much more established. Its natural that she would have respect for him because he was a legend by then. She is fabulous, but her best was yet to come. I think, all told, Joni was the more revolutionary and skilled and the better songwriter, but Johnny had such wonderful visceral emotion. They are both outstanding in their own ways and I couldn't choose between them.

[@nadominhoca]

Anthony Jackson Joni is absolutely an amazing artist. Stop with the sex battle.. “oh she didn’t get all the recognition because she is a woman”... Jesus!!! Can’t you people stop with that?!! Johnny Cash was a legend. Joni was a legend to be! Both are/were amazing!! Johnny was extremely charismatic! Joni was technical and extremely talented! Can’t we just focus on that?!?

[@clearfield2009]

Wow. I had no idea that Joni sang with Johnny on his TV specials. Its a shock really. And here is Joni and Johnny singing Bobby. And it's Bobby's song about Joan Baez. This is amazing.

[@nancywoo4675]

gave me goosebumps and electric energy charges. Two true and deep originals. Much as you have to give Johnny credit, you have to give the network credit too. Pity they have lowered the bar so far these days. Thabks to whoever signed of on Johnny's show back then. It left is this great footage.
