Displaying all reviews (2)There was no indication that this was the Counting Crows version, but it is what I was trying to find since the song is one of my faves on my go-to playlist. Does a decent job recreating their sound.

Joni Mitchell has a wonderful melodic and rhythmic gift. Her melodies flows out of her naturally and in a well balance and beautiful way. Unfortunately, this sheet music does not reflect that. Its stiff and appears to have been transcribed decades ago by someone who just didnt get modern (in the 60s) music.
