She reminds me a bit of Billie Holliday, too.

Yea especially her vocal delivery. Thinking about it, Joni Mitchell's later work has a Piaf like quality, regret and fortitude, a kind of European sensibility etc

Good track but I can't help suspect that the Stones would expect a bit more discipline from guests if it was their album being recorded.
Though Mick does turn in a splendid version of The Long Black Veil.

My God you must have a lot of time on your hands! 
So good.
I haven't got this album yet* but the cover painting alone is fantastic.
* I have in my CD collection : "Ben Folds Five", "...Reinhold Messner", " Rockin' the Suburbs" and "Songs For Silverman".
Lord Bateman - Chris Wood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-_sy88Ijo0
Chris Wood's singing style really draws out the longing in this song, it's overwhelmingly beautiful to me.

Aye, love this too. Song and singer perfectly matched.
Ultimate Spinach - Behold and See
My favourite 'psychedelic 60s' album. Sample lyric:
Because I know you'd leave me a burnt-out matchbox of forgotten roses,
Inside a get-well card I had to address to myself
Happy days.
