Joni Mitchell tribute album

I was in a Borders bookstore today and heard Prince's version of A CASE OF U from the Joni Mitchell tribute album. Has anyone else heard it yet? Sounds sweet.

Sorry if this has already been posted!
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

Great rendition.


It's on One Night Alone (The piano album thing), so it wasn't the first time I've heard it.
Love

I really don't care for his version... it's nice enough but it doesn't begin to touch the original, and I'm a bit put off by him entirely eliminating the first verse.

As opposed the 80's pianorehearsal his version sounds so clean and lacks feel.
Its done technically perfect and taht's it. Skipping the 1st verse is kinda weird. Imagine doing Purple Rain and skipping the 1st verse.
