Both Sides Now was written by Joni Mitchell in 1966, when she was just 21 years old. She wasn't the first artist to record it though - in true folk tradition, the covers began before her own version was released in 1969, and they haven't stopped since. Both Sides Now is our most covered Cover Story song so far, with over 1,700 versions in as many styles as you can think of. Including, of course, Joni's return to the song from the other side of her career in 2000 (cue Emma Thompson's single tear in Love Actually).
For the final episode of this series of Cover Story, we will be looking at 9 versions of Both Sides Now with guests jazz musician Alex Raupach and composer Alice Chance.
