Real Good For Free

I'll be one to say that i've never been a huge fan of live albums. I guess i just fall in love with a song the way i hear it the first time, ya know right when you unwrap that CD package and listen to your new album for the very first time. Sometimes i get a tad dissapointed when i go to see it performed live and its just not the same.

Joni Mitchell's live album "Miles of Aisles" is one of my favorite live albums. I can listen to songs on this and on the originals and love them both equally!
Joni Mitchell is such a talented artist, if you've ever heard her voice it's one of a kind. The high notes she can hit compares to no one else!

"Miles of Aisles" one was Mitchell's most popular albums going all the way to #2 on the charts when it debuted in '74.
As i posted a couple weeks ago, my favorite Joni song is "River" but my mothers favorite and my favorite off this album is the song featured above, "Real Good For Free."

The song has a great meaning, soemthing you find yourself saying, " Wow, i never thought of it that way."

"Now me I play for fortune and those velvet curtain calls I've got a black limousine and sixteen gentlemen escorting me to the halls and I play if you have the money or if you're a friend to me but the one man band by the quick lunch stand he was playing real good, for free."
