So I just listened. My favourites are Rosa Hinksman's 'In California', Ian Cooke's 'Monkey & Bear (you guys know how muck I love cellos) and David Miele's 'Soft as Chalk'.
Hey, wuzz, were you singing? I had never heard you sing before, and you are reallyreallyreallyreally good!
And mad props to Rebecca. Overall, a very pleasing experience.

South African Guitarist Guy Buttery talks about the project

"What, our own Jesus-faced Guy Buttery on an international Joanna Newsom compilation? It’s a no-brainer after watching his infectious version of “The Book of Right On”. A jaunty, deceptively accomplished (see how he gets that underlying loop going then downplays the conceit by calling it “cheap karaoke”) take that just about matches the offhand emotional loveliness of the original."

Great video!

A huge thanks is owed to the Milky Moon Community, in particular all of you who donated and the artists who gave so much - as the project has raised over $10K to date, with no publicity or distribution outside the site.

The site has been updated:

"Your gift to Oxfam's Saving Lives 24/7 Fund helps ensure that when disaster strikes, we can launch assessment and relief operations right away before disease and exposure to the elements multiply the casualties. It also helps us prepare vulnerable communities for emergencies, so local people can prevent loss of life before outside help arrives. And it ensures that even in disasters that don't grab the headlines, Oxfam and our partners can do what needs to be done."

I have been asked and am considering a vol 2.

Cheers!

I didn't know you were behind that! How great.

Lately, I've actually been recommending Versions of Joanna as a starting point for people who aren't into her music yet. It allows you to come to appreciate her songwriting without having to also appreciate her distinctive personal sound at the same time. Baby steps.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone was still maintaining this? Last year I donated to Oxfam as a birthday gift for myself (from the versionsofjoanna site directly) and had to email to see about getting my copy of the album (which I've been obsessed with on soundcloud since hearing) and I did receive a link after a while, however that link was corrupted, and then the site disappeared after I requested a fixed copy but before I received one, and then the official email appeared to have gotten hijacked, so I'm honestly at a loss of where to go and if I'll ever get my copy of the album I thought my best shot would be at this forum since this post appears to be the only official information about it left besides soundcloud, where I also had no luck getting in contact? I still have the confirmation email from Oxfam if the people in charge of the VoJ album are still around and maintaining it.
Thanks for reading !
