Free Music Notes for A Tribute To Joni MitchellFree Music Review: Great introduction to alternative performers Hit: 5 StarsI have been a fan of Joni Mitchell's music since the 1970's when my college roommate introduced me to her first album. This album introduced me to some other performers I might like and showed me new ways to interpert some of my favorite works. It also forced me to re-examine some of the songs I had previously neglected. Some of the renditions are not successful but that is OK since Joni Mitchell herself does not succeed 100% of the time.
Free Music Review: half & half Hit: 3 StarsSkip the opening track - an unpleasant dada-esque rendition of Free Man in Paris. In fact, skip the first 4 or 5 tracks. Once you get to Cassandra Wilson, the CD really takes off. If you download it on iTunes you miss Annie Lennox's "Ladies of the Canyon," which is worth the price of the whole cd. Also beautiful are the tracks by kd lang, elvis costello, sarah mclaughlin, and emmy lou harris.
Free Music Review: Joni Mitchel lovers will really love this one Hit: 5 StarsThis is a great tribute to Joni from artists that understand the true feeling of Joni and her songs. James Taylor ,Katie Lang and Sara capture her the best.
Free Music Review: Bad Beyond Belief Hit: 1 StarsAmaze your friends with the worst tribute compilation ever recorded. Wow them with a rendition of Free Man in Paris that sounds as if it were arranged and recorded by a first year music student with access to too many horns. See to believe. Bring your camera.
Free Music Review: Who thought this was a good idea? Hit: 1 StarsA tribute album to Dylan makes sense. After all, Dylan can't sing and it has been proven time after time that his words, in the hands of others, really shine. But Joni Mitchell? It's hard to imagine a more beautiful and original voice. These artists do nothing to add to her body of work. While all talented in their own right, when singing Joni's tunes they offer pale reflections of the original works at best. This album seems like nothing more than a half baked money making scheme and should not be supported.
