    The singer is doing something really amazing, She’s making this gorgeous, sad and intensely personal Mitchell song fit the bouncy funk groove. Absolutely majestic voice and phrasing to die for.

    EDIT: okay, it's not just a hint, they totally meshed this tune with Cissy Strut and I am somehow even more impressed than I normally am with this band. I mean the creativity needed to think of this is unreal! Please never stop making music!

And the way all the instruments fit together like a Russian doll, one inside the next. AWESOME guitar solo in the middle :-) I'm smiling today...
    p.s. I'm back after listen #3 - so clever how the guitar doubled the bass @ the octave. I'm gonna have to remember that, what a neat sound.
