Both Sides Now

Beautiful song alert! Canadian legend Joni MItchell's early classic "Both Sides Now" is the tune of the week, and it touches Erik and Weldon's Prairie souls. A wide-ranging discussion of Canadian accents, British Surrealists, Plato's Cave, and the journey of life ensues. Judy Collins had a hit with the tune in '68, and we dig the Baroque arrangement, and isn't the organ a little ... garagey? That same year, an obscure band called The Collection authored a psych-bubblegum version that has some modulation and icy princess vocals and a cool drone at the end. The final version we talk about is from The Tokens, of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" fame. They really show the whim-o-way forward! Play this one right out loud!!
