Free Music Review: It's hard to review Joni
Hit: 5 Stars
It's such a personal thing to even think about Joni Mitchell. All of her songs are so beautiful and we all have our favorites. This is one of her 4 or 5 greatest albums. I love this album and "Blue", "Ladies..." and "Court and Spark". My all-time favorite album by her is easily "Miles of Aisles" due to its enormous at-the-crossroads appeal. She had one foot in confessional folk tunes and one foot ready to jump into jazz. One great and overlooked thing about "For the Roses" - Joni, you never ever looked better than you do on the cover. A remarkably beautiful lady, to be sure. When I bought the original LP way back in the 70's, after getting past the cover photo, I was shocked to open up the cover and find a NUDE photo of Joni! Wow, she could have been a model. But then we would have missed all of that wonderful catalog of heartfelt songs......
For the Roses Poster
Sandwiched between the solitary, heart-on-her-sleeve confessions of Blue and the ravishing pop of Court and Spark, 1972's For the Roses captures Joni Mitchell in a deceptively subdued period of transition. Still hewing to a spare sound, Mitchell ventures beyond the elegant folk sources of earlier records to explore her love of blues and jazz-based harmony, writing as much on piano as guitar; thematically, the earnest reveries and heartbroken dirges of before give way to a more detached, even journalistic perspective and darker, grittier settings, most strikingly on "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire." "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" was the set's nominal hit, yet in hindsight the keepers here are found in evolutionary pieces like the jazz-tinged "Barangrill," the rock-infused "Blonde in the Bleachers," and in more sober meditations like "Woman of Heart and Mind"--testaments to her restless growth and signposts to the more mature music ahead. --Sam SutherlandFolk Music CDs
