Free Music Review: MASTERPIECE FROM THE 70'S....
Hit: 5 Stars
"COURT AND SPARK" is just one of many Mitchell landmarkmasterpieces. Recorded during 1973, this collection marked
a change in her style that was hinted at on "FOR THE ROSES", but now with "C & S", more fully realized. A deeper vocal works its way/along side that soaring soprano(at times), into lighter
jazz/pop mixes and her world weary views(regarding people and places) shapes their way into
her lyrics with as much force as the love themes. Joni continues to move away from the personal Joni
she had capitalized on with the masterpiece, "BLUE", just a few years
previous to this. A new mature artist is emerging in defiance
of a whole generation of listeners who just would not let her
go out of that "blue". This was Joni's shining years, along with
the LIVE- "MILES OF ISLES" that came out on the heels of C & S
and these songs captured her passions to a wider audience
and all her ideology of the times(and boy did we all live
in some crazy times), the Vietnam war was just finally ending
and talented musicans were so plentiful and created by their
own visions and supported by record companies (for the most
part). Great music like this just poured out from every part of
the country. "Court and Spark" was way ahead of its time when
you look back on what was popular and what artists had to say
about the times. This music, now 30 years in its inception
still captivates with each listen. This was a musican/painter who had
so much to say and also as a woman who had no female peers (in my opinion), outside of Laura Nyro and Carole King, during this time. Highlights are everywhere on this collection. The soaring
multiplicity vocal treaments alone were so unigue to listen
to and made these songs even more unusal. The piano playing
also highlight these sessions especially on "Down to You",
"Same Situation" and the title track. Favortie tracks "Just
like this train", "Troubled Child", "Help me" and the out there
track "Car on a hill" formed a continuity in flow and propelled
this collectin to one of the best recordings of the year. I will always go back and listen to this(and so many other great Joni Mitchell collections) and remember the times and the gift of the genius of Joni Mitchell. This belongs in every music lovers collection, whether you're 15 or 80.
