Morrissey favourite Buffy the Cowboy Slayer does a jaunty take on the Joni classic on her 1967 album Fire & Fleet & Candlelight. This also plays over the credits of counterculture classic The Strawberry Statement which came out three years later. This certainly has a spring in its step somewhat lacking over the rest of the original album it hails from much of which is somewhat worthy and dull. I saw a copy of said album in the window of a record shop in York a week and a half ago and debated over whether to buy it. It was one that got away and my instinct might have served me well on this occasion. Still The Circle Game and 97 Men in This Here Town from the record are worth tracking down.
