No longer speaking for rest of us, Mitchell got herself back to the garden Mitchell's debut album attracted some critical attention in 1968, but it was "Ladies of the Canyon" two years later that confirmed her artistry and "Blue" in 1971 that certified her greatness. Mitchell is standing in the painting room of the Mediterranean-style place in Los Angeles that has been her home for 30 years. Mitchell had fun with the music ("You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio") and reflected, in the title track, on the struggle to maintain one's innocence and vision in the record industry. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/a/2004/09/20/DDGU18QTIF1.DTL   (2603 words)

Amazon.com: Music: Blue "Blue" is (I believe) the best possible starting point in exploring Joni Mitchell's career, as it catches her blurring the line among pop, folk and jazz genres, breaking out of the hippie/folkie mold, and becoming an artistic force who would influence many for years to come. Joni Mitchell is one of the few artist that I've heard that I can honestly describe as a genius and she shows why througout this entire album. Joni Mitchell is just a great artist all around and she brings a level of depth to her work that is rarely seen. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002KBU?v=glance   (2603 words)

John Prine Awards, video, dvd, and past reviews 2003 page 1 Nope, she was raised on Dylan, Cash, the Carter Family and Joni Mitchell. Dre's The Chronic, "the perfect fusion of life, fantasy and phenomenal beats" ("just don't let your kids listen") is in the driver's seat with Joni Mitchell's "spiritual journey" Hejira riding shotgun. Although she hasn't released an album of her own since 1996, she's been busy singing on others, including a collaboration with John Prine, the second edition of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and tribute albums to Jimmie Rodgers, Tom T. Hall and Greg Brown, whom she recently married. www.mrnatural.com /2004/03concertreviews_misc.htm   (2603 words)

Rewind: Joni Mitchell - Blue Beneath the Joni Mitchell who chalked problems up to astrology, who longed to wrap the meaning of life up into some single cloyingly cute pun, there was a Joni Mitchell who was utterly lost, who knew in and out her weaknesses, and mine. If you look past the cavalcade of Mitchell's lesser followers and just pay attention to her album itself, you'll find a work that still retains all of its electric charge 30 years after it was written. It's not like Blue, probably the best album by probably one of the best songwriters of our time, is a well-kept secret. www.audiogalaxy.com /articles?&a=150   (2603 words)

RollingStone.com: Joni Mitchell : 30) Blue : News Or to be happy." With song after song of regrets and sorrow and a smoky-blue cover shot of Mitchell on the edge of tears, this may be the ultimate breakup album. "The ' Blue ' album, there's hardly a dishonest note in the vocals," Mitchell told Rolling Stone in 1979. Stephen Stills and James Taylor lend an occasional hand, but in "California," "Carey" and "This Flight Tonight," Mitchell sounds utterly alone in her melancholy, turning the sadness into tender art. www.rollingstone.com /news/story/_/id/6598155   (2603 words)

FFWD Weekly - November 4, 2004 Instead, MacInnis has crafted his own visions of Joni, as it were (to steal a line from one of her songwriting contemporaries) – Joni Mitchell: River is sort of a theatrical mixed CD, leaning heavily in favour of her early-’70s albums, particularly Blue. Her breathy, sexy version of "Coyote" (the opening track on Mitchell’s 1976 road album Hejira, and also the tune she performed at The Band’s Last Waltz) is a delight, while she simmers with anger and disgust on "The Magdalene Laundries" and shimmers with transcendence on "Hejira" itself and "River" from Blue.

jmdl LIBRARY: Joining Joni's River: Vancouver Courier, October 5, 2004 "I was slightly familiar with [the 1971 Mitchell album] Blue, but I grew up in a generation that wasn't saturated with her," says the 29-year-old while one of her bands, Soulstream, soundchecks at a Yaletown nightclub. Originally performed in Winnipeg at the Prairie Theatre Exchange in 2002, Joni Mitchell: River (at the Vancouver Playhouse Oct. 9-30) is a theatrical presentation of a number of Mitchell compositions. Rebecca Shoichet didn't grow up listening to the music of Joni Mitchell, but the singer, who fronts two local bands, is relishing the experience of interpreting the legendary Canadian's music in the Vancouver Playhouse production of Joni Mitchell: River, Oct. 9-30. www.jmdl.com /library/print.cfm?id=1180   (579 words)

Welcome to Streets Online Folk Rock Hejira This was the first Joni Mitchell album I bought and it still ranks as one of my favourite albums of all time along with Blue. If this is one of the most remarkable popular music albums of all time, and it certainly is, then the reason for it is that on HEJIRA Joni Mitchell learned how to do the impossible, in John Martyn's words, by make folk music 'swing'. The album revolves around the stellar title track, a cyclical composition without traditional verse/chorus structure, 'I'm porous with travel fever, but you know I'm so glad to be on my own'. www.streetsonline.co.uk /common/product.jhtml?pid=10194213   (579 words)

Stereophile: Recording of July 2002: The Last Waltz Deeper into the album, as the guest stars' connections to The Band became more tenuous, the quality of the performances fortunately stayed high: Joni Mitchell nailed "Coyote," Neil Young crowed "Helpless," and the film's most incongruous element, Neil Diamond (in a baby-blue suit), slid through his collaboration with Robertson, "Dry Your Eyes." At the time of its release it was clear that it and the accompanying three-LP soundtrack album represented only part of what had gone on that night. Despite the visual element provided by the film, it was and is the music of The Last Waltz, the greatest rock concert film of them all, that takes your breath away. www.stereophile.com /recordingofthemonth/623   (596 words)

Rosebud by Harriet Schock Schock, a fine singer who accompanies herself on piano (think of some of Joni Mitchell's unadorned tracks from her classic period, as on Blue or Ladies of the Canyon), is unusually skilled at writing the personal song, and using memory details in her lyrics. The fact that rosebud is so intimately concerned with allowing the song and the songwriter to come through clearly and unencumbered, immediately sets it apart from nine out of ten albums of current music that become available these days. Ultimately, Schock's album is about empowerment, about self-realization. www.harrietschock.com /record/rosebudReview.htm   (443 words)

Amazon.com: Dog Eat Dog: Music: Joni Mitchell Along with such wildly disssimlar albums such as Blue and Hejira, Dog Eat Dog is a crucial element to understanding the whole of Joni Mitchell's vision as a real nonconformist not afraid to be truly provocative with her art. As for the lyrics, this is Joni's angriest album for sure. Listen past the more dated elements of the musical arrangements and you will hear that Joni's songwriting has never been stronger; her poetic insight proves as sharp as ever and her way with melody continues its' evolution. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000OXY?v=glance   (1570 words)

Winds of Crete - Sfakia-Crete.com The Joni Mitchell song "Carey" (from the album "Blue") starts with the lines "The wind is in from Africa Locals say the Vorias in its most fierce of days whistles furiously day and night, tormenting the shepherds on the uplands and the farmers in the fields and ruining the gardens in the villages.

Reviews of Best of Poco and Joni Mitchell Both Sides Now Not surprisingly, the highlights on the album are Joni's own songs: a reworking of "A Case of You" (from her 1972 release, Blue), and the ending song, "Both Sides Now." Explains Joni, "I wrote it when I was 21 and was really steeped in the classics of the genre. Today's artists release one album, which is overhyped to the point that their second album invariably stiffs, and the band is discarded. I used to think that "Both Sides Now" was kind of a sappy song, But I really like how Joni delivers it with understated elegance and lovely sax solos from Wayne Shorter. www.cdshakedown.com /040700.htm   (1570 words)

Silence Kit In an elite class of rock icons with Dylan, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young who push themselves artistically through middle age, Elvis Costello finds himself accommodating his audience with When I Was Cruel. "My Little Blue Window," a catchy piece of pop candy driven by a fuzz box and bitter vocals, could be the best track on the album. In his first stripped-down rock record since 1994's vastly underrated Brutal Youth, When I Was Cruel at times recaptures the fire, occasionally misses the mark, but never takes us anywhere we haven't been before. www.bluemag.com /reviews/archives/000038.html   (9770 words)

Splendid: Features: The Mountain Goats All-time would be too long a list and would take days but Jackson Browne's Saturate Before Using and The Pretender would both be on the list, as would the Birthday Party's Junkyard, Joni Mitchell's unspeakable Blue, and Alma Mater by the Stockholm Monsters, which is probably my favorite album ever. I was listening to a song by Ma Rainey and Tampa Red last night, probably recorded direct to wax cylinder. Commercially speaking -- again, I'd love to make a lot of money, but that has nothing to do with the records I make. www.splendidezine.com /features/mountain   (9770 words)
