You Turn Me On I'm A Radio
Written By: Joni Mitchell

Lyrics:
If you're driving into town
With a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number
Who's bound to love you

Oh honey you turn me on
I'm a radio
I'm a country station
I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wildwood flower
Waving for you
Broadcasting tower
Waving for you

And I'm sending you out
This signal here
I hope you can pick it up
Loud and clear
I know you don't like weak women
You get bored so quick
And you don't like strong women
'Cause they're hip to your tricks

It's been dirty for dirty
Down the line
But you know
I come when you whistle
When you're loving and kind

But if you've got too many doubts
If there's no good reception for me
Then tune me out, 'cause honey
Who needs the static
It hurts the head
And you wind up cracking
And the day goes dismal

From "Breakfast Barney"
To the sign-off prayer
What a sorry face you get to wear
I'm going to tell you again now
If you're still listening there

If you're driving into town
With a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number
Who's bound to love you

If you're lying on the beach
With the transistor going
Kick off the sandflies honey
The love's still flowing
If your head says forget it
But your heart's still smoking
Call me at the station
The lines are open

Molly, if you record a solo album of Joni Mitchell covers, I promise to drink most of a pint of whiskey and cry all night while listening to it.

[davestagner]

One of the few singers I trust to pull off Joni Mitchell!

[djmikio]

My favorite voice of today's generation covering my favorite voice of my own generation. Couldn't be sweeter! ❤️

[ErsatzMcGuffin]

Molly simply owns every tune she covers.

Had the great honor to see Molly in Somerset Wisconsin with Willie Nelson. How many musical artists can go from their original works, then to a Rolling Stone cover, then to Joni? Only Molly could walk that bridge.

We love your beautiful head, face, smile, and voice, and how easily you went in and out of your head voice. And this is just one part of your talented, brave self - you write great songs and you shred the guitar. Look forward to seeing you live one day.

Molly, with her musical talent, artistry, and persona is the essence of beauty. I find no other way to describe her. I missed her last year at Telluride, I wish she would join Sierra and Billy in Phoenix this spring.

I don’t usually like covers of Joni Mitchell. She was so very unique and so very talented that no one can do Joni but Joni. Molly, however, performs this song beautifully! I was obsessed with Joni Mitchell as a college student 1979-82 and then kind of lost track of her amidst the responsibilities of raising children and…life. In my late 50’s I rediscovered her in a big way and her music has been a great comfort to me as my husband declines with dementia. How can a musician speak to us so powerfully both in our teens and in middle age? Thank you, Joni! Thank you, Molly! Your cover brightened my Mother’s Day!

I usually don’t care for covers, but this is so good.

[agnome]

Embrace the similarities embrace the differences ❤
More Joni

[jimrebr]

I love this wonderful song written by my beloved Joni Mitchell, Molly your playing guitar and such a fantastic voice, and you are very beautiful ❤

[davids]

She makes my heart hurt in a good way and I LOVE her music! What an amazing talent.

[troma]

Saw this first thing this morning. Fantastic cover. Brought back memories from almost 50 years ago. I’ll be smiling the rest of the day. You’re a treasure.

[aaronpitsenbarger]

Saw Molly last night in Indianapolis, such a magical show, she really connects with the audience and her band is on another level. I love you molly!

[charlesfaucher]

Ok, as a bald man, I just have to say, all your amazing talent aside…you are gorgeous, beautiful, amazing, and completely genuine. Love you Miss Molly!!!❤❤❤

[fritzenheimer]

Goodness, young lady. I have heard a voice like that ( partly the song) since Dolly Pardon with a turn into Joni.
Certainly you have a great blessing there. And that strumming/picking skill. Wow. Still amazing!!!
And doing both together!!
Uniquely special.
Thank you for sharing.

[rodmcdonald]

Molly and Golden Highway are the absolute best.

[ZRJZZZZZ]

Molly is a flower, inside and out and a formidable guitarist.

[siamsasean]

What floors me is the way Molly works rubato into her phrasing and keeps Strict Tempo at the same time. Rock Steady!
Ain't bad having two beautiful voices, either.

I've really enjoyed watching Molly perform solo & with others. She's an amazing talent! The first time I saw her I watched The Turtles with AJ Lee performing 'Hickory Wind'.
I had the pleasure to meet her dad at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto last year. Jack is also an amazing talent and I'm guessing that he taught Molly early on how to play. But she's just a natural & born to play guitar & sing!
Molly, you bring such joy to all of us who have been fortunate enough to watch your talent!
