In an act of procrastination I’ve been trolling playlist sites for new music to add to, well, my playlists. In such music searches I usually begin by digging up some melody from the back of my head, some song that I know neither the title nor artist or only know one or the other but nonetheless remember liking it and am determined to find it. One such song appeared on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young box set. I hadn’t listened to them in awhile, so the song’s name escaped me, but into the second disc I finally discovered it…track 12, “Urge for Going,” David Crosby and Graham Nash. Now onto playlist.com.

The search there brought up the original version, written and sung by Joni Mitchell in the 60s—yay!—the link was broken—aaaarh. I moved on and searched lastfm.com that rendered plenty of versions…CSN&Y (the take I was originally looking for), Joni Mitchell, Tom Rush and others but also offered a YouTube video by CitizenWorm. I listened and was pleasantly surprised. She has a beautiful voice and it’s worth a listen.
