The good news is that Jackie has signed with a new label and is working on a new album. But I'm groaning to read she's chosen Joni Mitchell's, River, to introduce it. Uh. I suggest fans here read its lyrics for starters. You might share my groan. To me, they're incomprehensibly esoteric. Have no idea what she's sayin' to the listener. Whatever it might be, sounds uncomfortably personal. Secondly, I like strong melody. This song is blandly chant like. Not exactly a cover that's going to turn on the ears and hearts of new and younger fans of "Kitty". I hope she surprises me which she often does by transforming this strange song with her inimitable style, voice and ability to interpret into one that's more enjoyable, listenable and understandable than Mitchell's original. And this coming from a long time fan of Joni Mitchell who was loving her stuff all the way back when she first made the scene in the 60s.

I am looking forward to Jackie's new album. I am also looking forward to her rendition of "River". She might want to consider another of Joni's songs "Both Ways Now".

I think that would suit Jackie more than "River".

If Jackie can get River into the rotation of stations that play Xmas music every holiday season, it would be royalty revenue she could fall back on each year if nothing else blooms for her. Personally I like the song and have always wanted to hear Jackie sing one of Joni's tunes. It has a nice high passage in it that I'm sure Jackie will nail. Like anything else, if it works, it will be seen as a brilliant move and if not, oh well....

Like anything else, if it works, it will be seen as a brilliant move and if not, oh well.... In the US (and other countries not signatory to the Rome Convention of 1961 (pertaining to copyrights)), for broadcast radio play, only the writer gets royalties; those with rights to a particular master recording (by a particular artist, etc) do not. Internet "radio", streaming, purchased media or downloads, are different; there are royalties there to both songwriter and whoever gets a slice of the recording royalties. For a broadcast station also available over the Internet, royalties are only due those with rights for the recording on the streamed part, not the broadcast part. Satellite radio is apparently treated like streaming, rather than like terrestrial broadcast radio. SoundExchange collects the royalties for streaming, etc. www.broadcastlawblog.com/2017/10/articles/are-you-streaming-your-radio-station-reminder-that-broadcasters-need-to-pay-royalties-to-soundexchange-as-well-as-ascap-bmi-and-sesac/AFAIK, paid downloads and physical media are like streaming, both writer and performer (or label) get royalties. So for covers or something that she doesn't have writer rights to, she doesn't get anything for US broadcast radio play, although she might get a bit for foreign radio play. Even the top-selling performers don't make as much as one might suppose on royalties unless they're also the songwriters; and those below that level tend to make very little indeed, not necessarily enough to amount to a basic income supplement.

I thought the same thing, that artists were paid a royalty each time a radio station plays their song! But rlhamil is 100% correct! In the U.S., only the songwriter gets the royalties.
"Radio Royalties: How Do Radio Stations Pay Artists? "
"As we’ve mentioned earlier, in most markets, both songwriters and recording artists are typically paid royalties any time their music is played on the radio. In the US, however, that is not the case. So, for the American-based music industry, only songwriters and their publishers (owners of the composition copyright) are paid performance royalties for airplay. "
Learn something every day!!

The context of what I wrote comes from hanging around 'record people' when I was a buyer in the 1970s. I was told managers were always encouraging their acts to "do a Xmas song" as something to fall back on if the music thing dries up. But they may well have said "write a Xmas song." It was nearly fifty years ago. I claim a certain amount of slack. Thank you. ; )
