"Joy" is my favorite of the covers from her "I've Got My Own Hell To Raise" album (named after the line in the Fionna Apple song, "Sleep To Dream" which she also covers on the album). I've been listening to her albums a lot lately...I can't stop. Her voice is driven by emotion, which I always love and gravitate towards. I like this version of "Joy" better than Lucinda Williams', although hers is great as well.
