 FFWD Weekly - November 4, 2004
In this revue, originally conceived by ATP alumnus Allen MacInnis for Winnipeg’s Prairie Theatre Exchange, Mitchell’s songs are grouped by themes ("Falling in Love," "War," "Big Business," etc.) and sung by three singer-actors in a cabaret style that recalls that seminal 1960s songwriter showcase Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.
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.
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.
