Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow-storm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another sure
Comes love, nothing can be done

Don't try hiding 'cause there isn't any use
You start sliding when your heart turns on the juice

Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes a heat-wave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes the summer, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes the measles, you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousy, you can chase it with the broom
Comes love, nothing can be done

That's all brother, if you've ever been in love
That's all brother, you know what I'm speaking of

Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done

She passed away on November 22, 2024 from a brain aneurysm. Born in 1961 so only 63 years old. Sad to lose such a heartfelt smooth singer at such an early age.

Reminds me of Melody Gardot (that's a good thing).

The singing is freakin' awesome, to be sure, but whoah, the backing musicians are at the top of their game on THIS swinging tune! The atmosphere is so powerful! It feels like I'm in a delightfully blue and moody dive bar!

I always hear the line "Blow a tire, you can buy another sure" as 
Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe.  It's cute! I tell people that I gotta get new shoes for my truck.
Very cool song btw.

Yeah, I'm with you here. Joni takes some flack but she done good and Ella is always great, this one sounded a bit flat to me. Nice but not great...maybe a bit too fast for her voice, IDK, something. Good tune though...quite likable.

It is great to hear Toni Price here. We've enjoyed listening to her for years.

Another torchy kind of singer in our area is MaryAnn Price. I have no idea if they're related. MAP was one of Dan Hicks' original 'Lickettes'.

Both Sides Now.  Joni's version has a wonderful earthy feel to it.  I also like Ella's version better than this one.  It's leaving me a little cold.

Homegirl Toni tackles a venerable jazz standard, wrestles it to the floor, and plants a big sloppy whiskey kiss full on its lips. Sweetness.

Anonymous posting often brings out the hateful side in people. Not me, I will anonymously state that Toni Price is among the best contemporary female vocalists living today. Her music is outstanding on recordings and even better live. I've seen her drunk, but guess what? I've seen Emmy Lou drunk too, and so was I on both occasions. That's what bars are for. I've also witnessed amazingly professional behavior from both of them. You have to take things in context. Put the petty jealousy aside and take my word for it, Toni is #1 in my book and I miss her. I hope she moves back home to Austin someday.

Should have ventured out back where the ongoing 420 party filled the street and the air. Police drive by just to see the happy faces and wave. You're right about her being snookered and sitting. Tough to see her in such a small venue.

Sadly, she's moving to California, so Hippie Hour is evolving. But the replacement band (tentatively named Sniz-O-Rama) includes Scrappy Jud Newcomb, among other good folks.

I'm not all that impressed with this version. It seems derivative of Billie Holiday's version which is, in and of itself, much better than this version. Toni's voice is very thin, brittle and a little painful to listen to. And Toni's performance doesn't hold a candle to Eva Cassidy who followed her in the mix. I don't know anything else that Toni has done, but I'm not a fan of this one.

Once again I am reminded how a song can transport one to their "Happy Place". Just got word of additional cutbacks here at work and was stewing in "What now?" paranoia. From the first notes, I was transported tp the motorcycle trip I was on passing thru Austin where I was turned on to Toni. It may not change the present condition, but good music can always soften the edges. Toni has the power and the staying power. Play on...
