Why Judy Collins’ cover of Joni Mitchell’s 'River' is a Song You Need to Know
Winter Stories“River” is Mitchell’s second most covered song, right behind “Both Sides Now,” the latter of which Collinsand won a Grammy for Best Folk Performance. Part breakup ballad, part Christmas song, “River” is a seasonal sulker that’s ideal to ice skate to while crying about your ex .
