River is now available everywhere you listen to music!! smarturl.it/rivermd
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! It's been quite wintery here in Nashville, so "River" seemed like a fitting cover. I was excited to work out an acoustic guitar arrangement for this song, and we tried to stay true to some of the original piano melodies. Emily took the camera for the day and did some adventure filming around town. We used footage from that throughout. Hope you all enjoy!

This has to be the most beautiful covers of Joni Mitchell's River. The song is so haunting but the delicate sweet harmonies and acoustic accompaniment is just beautiful...this song used to just represent sadness for me and generally how I felt at every Christmas, but you have done something very special here.

Oh my gosh. I am a deeply devout fan of Joni Mitchell so I am really critical of covers. But you have just as much inflection and emotion as she did. Deeply impressed.

As well i am a HUGE joni mitchell fan. I have never heard a joni mitchell cover that did her justice... this is the first joni cover i have heard in my life that i could listen to over and over again and appreciate it just as much the 200th time i listened to it , as i would the first time i played this version. MAGICAL. this cover hits me in the gut just like the original.

doug h I totally agree with you about covering Joni. For me Joni's songs just have a certain magic to them that can't be captured in a cover but these three created their own magic which comes across really well. Having 3 voices brought something new and they really hit it out of the park for me.

This song is so pure in its original version. So many have covered it and I notice how true to the original these folks keep their versions. Ya almost have to. But.... You folks found a way to nicely and respectfully pull off accompaniment by guitar and mandolin with really great vocal harmonies.

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 going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to 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 Oh, 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 Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
