I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! It's been quite wintery here in Nashville, so "River" seemed like a fitting cover. I was excited to work out an acoustic guitar arrangement for this song, and we tried to stay true to some of the original piano melodies. Emily took the camera for the day and did some adventure filming around town. We used footage from that throughout. Hope you all enjoy!

Bruce Hackett brought me here! Haven't seen this video in years. Was grateful for the reminder from Bruce.
This has to be the most beautiful covers of Joni Mitchell's River. The song is so haunting but the delicate sweet harmonies and acoustic accompaniment is just beautiful...this song used to just represent sadness for me and generally how I felt at every Christmas, but you have done something very special here.
one of the best songs ever written. Joni mitchell - Legend.
Stunning guys 💗
Oh my gosh. I am a deeply devout fan of Joni Mitchell so I am really critical of covers. But you have just as much inflection and emotion as she did. Deeply impressed.
my sentiments exactly... well said
As well i am a HUGE joni mitchell fan. I have never heard a joni mitchell cover that did her justice... this is the first joni cover i have heard in my life that i could listen to over and over again and appreciate it just as much the 200th time i listened to it , as i would the first time i played this version. MAGICAL. this cover hits me in the gut just like the original.
doug h I totally agree with you about covering Joni. For me Joni's songs just have a certain magic to them that can't be captured in a cover but these three created their own magic which comes across really well. Having 3 voices brought something new and they really hit it out of the park for me.
Then you should give a listen to Diana Rouvas’s cover which is absolutely amazing, very high level: th-cam.com/video/PoLxzA5Ik9g/w-d-xo.html
And also, all Claudia Crook’s covers which are sooo good: th-cam.com/users/ccrook2001 Gorgeous, pure voice. And she does very good dulcimer tutorials as well! Enjoy
Give a listen to Scottish singer Sandi Thom's version. I think you'll like it.
One of the BEST renditions I've heard of this beautifully, sad song.....
Why I'm listening to this song in the middle of August? I don't care. It's freaking amazing!
This is one of the best cover songs I ever heard. You all sing and play so well that the mood is overwhelming. Thank you for a wonderful interpretation of this song. I always come back to your song. Thank you!!
Hye. This is the most beautifull cover I 've ever heard about this song. Exactly what I imagined in my head, and you did it : the instrumentation and the 3 voices. Perfect. congratulations from French.
Brings me to tears every time! Love this!
Love the harmonies and the videos of the river......WOW. You nailed it again.
Bravo Bravo. For sure the best and my favorite of my favorite Christmas smog of all time! Thank you. It was nothing but beautiful!
Beautiful, just beautiful! Thank you so much for the harmony I will be using at tonight’s acoustic gig 🎸🎶

Stunning cover guys. Beautiful harmonies. More please.
Wow. Love love love ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.. This is my third favorite version of the song followed only by Joni's original and The Indigo Girls cover. Great job y'all are in good company.
it’s very difficult covering this song on guitar let alone a piano! you nailed it ! very heartfelt and genuine… loved it ❤
This song is so pure in its original version. So many have covered it and I notice how true to the original these folks keep their versions. Ya almost have to. But....
You folks found a way to nicely and respectfully pull off accompaniment by guitar and mandolin with really great vocal harmonies.
wow ! they blew me away! instrumental and vocal absolutely amazing 🙏🏻
This is one exquisitely fine cover of a classic tune!
Fantastic - just fantastic... Hvala Marijane for the recommendation.
Stunning cover guys...beautiful

Beautiful!!
DONT KNOW WHY MY TEARS ARE FALLING WHILE LISTENING YOUR VIDEO....THANK YOU SO MUCH....

You guys just melted my heart with this rendition.
Subtle, sensitive, gorgeous!
Wow, so beautiful--well done! This has always been one of my favorite Joni songs, and this is one of the best covers I've heard of this popular song.
Quite a good rendition. I am listening cause its comin on Christmas. Well done. Probably the best version out there. So many talented people in this world of ours.
Simply Beautiful.... God Bless you all.

KATHLEEN SEQUEIRA that's just what I like in songs

Again, a brilliant cover that lacks pain. Still beautiful! Sick harmonies and layers.
Beautiful...Touched my heart.
I have no words to describe what I felt listening to this song, what you did was amazing ... Thank you!
Such a great singer!
Oh how I love Megan
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
I'm a big Joni Mitchell fan. Ronstadt's cover is the only one I can listen to without cringing. Yours is absolutely beautiful.
Search for Christina Friis. She did an album called "The Quiet of Knowing" made up of very early songs of Joni that (up until very recently) had never been officially released by Joni herself. Christina did an amazing job of interpreting the songs in a way Joni might have actually done herself with similar sparse arrangements with guitar and piano and a very similar voice and vocal style. It is as close to a new Joni album as it gets. Of course, with the Joni Mitchell Archive recordings now being released we can hear how Joni actually did sing and arrange those songs. Still, I can highly recommend Christina Friis's album.
Wow...you guys are amazing!
Wow...that was really beautiful.
Love this version!
Just beautiful, from the heart ❤
Really nicely done.
I think you done Joni proud! One of the better covers of this I've heard...
Wow awesome voices, beautiful job
Megan I Love your voice. Brings a huge smile to me. Keep it up!
INCREDIBLE....AWESOME!!!!
wow wow wow perfect
❤❤❤ I have no words.
best cover i've ever heard. of anything. by anyone xo
This is allways so god ❤
Beautiful!
Best acoustic voices of the season!
Beautifully sung, many thanx from Germany!
I have always maintained that if you do a 'cover' then you need to bring something fresh to it. I first heard Joni Mitchell in early 1970 and have been a lifelong fan ever since whilst being fairly dismissive of most artists who covered her work. This cover of River is one of only two I have heard that blow me away. The other is by Tina Dico & Helgi Johnsson performed live in 2012. Well done to all.
Love this !
Sweet vocals..perfect accompaniment; just right!!!
Wowwwww it's awesome you guys ! Bravo !!
OMG, This brought a tear to my eye and have watched it over 10+ now tehe. Thank you for sharing your talents and amazing singing with us xx Much love from down under :)
This is my favorite song of all time and you did it so well it gave me chills
Hey Y'all this is the bomb!
This is fantastic. Very nice!
Another brilliant cover, the arrangement, harmonies, guitars and mandolin are just perfect. Megan - I can listen to your music all day long! Any plans to play in Canada, Vancouver perhaps? Surprised the views are not in the millions!
I like this very much
Wonderful!

meravigliosa!!!
Oh my God, guys you are so amazing, you made me cry and feel, thank you. Very inspirative
:)
Wow that made me cry ♡ i'm so in love with all of you guys ♡ just beautiful ♡
Beautiful... Good voices
This is really nice actually. It doesn't attempt to be an exact copy of Joni, it does it's own thing with a sort of country feel. It is atmospheric and the video is great. Love it.
