Travis - RiverA Joni Mitchell cover from the band's 'Turn' single dating back to '99's The Man Who. The single also included The Scots' now infamous cover of Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time' (perhaps to be featured in a future TWOB&R...).
The original tune can be found on Joni's breakthrough 1971 album, Blue. The track was writtten about a Christmastime breakup and has been covered endlessly over the last thirty-six years. Some artists that have tackled the song include (but are not limited to): Tori Amos, Rosanne Cash, Aimee Mann, Beth Orton & Rachael Yamagata. However, there have been very few male-vocalled 'River' attempts (in similar fashion to Bright Eyes' delivery of Feist's 'Mushaboom'), which makes the Travis cover ever the more unique.
