Margo Price - River (Joni Mitchell Cover)

Beyond thrilled to announce my new album 'Strays' - out on Jan 13. It is a snapshot in time, a search for freedom in a society gone mad- through pleasure, pain, love, death, addiction, grief, failure & faith, come transformation.
Recorded at Pulse Studios in Nashville

Lyrics:
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I grew up in the 60s so hearing this Joni Mitchell song sung so beautifully really takes me back. It takes a lot of guts to cover this song and Margo more than does it justice. Thank you Margo .

[micheleroyce]

I call Margo Price the current Queen of country music. Her songs and singing reach deep within me.

[larryesser]

Joni Mitchell is one of a kind; so is Margo Price. Hearing Margo Price sing a Joni Mitchell song is a true gift from both of them.

[michaelwoods]

Just when I thought Margo couldn’t push her singing and playing any further she releases this beautiful cover. ❣️

[PhilcoRt]

One singer who can do justice to Joni. Can't wait! You are one hell of a singer Margo and one brave soul.

[estimatedoutlaw]

For the people that put a thumbs down, get your ears checked.

No words. I'll just play along on this one. Just beautiful.
