Explore the musical magnificence of Joni Mitchell.

 



How cool it must be to be Joni Mitchell. Possessor of life's most fertile aesthetic palate, vocals that twist like a rattlesnake caught on a branch of a tree, how she immerses herself in musical drama, freely, without concern for her own sanity (John Hiatt eat your lower intestines out), taking herself to all points until she simply flips her emotions over to turn a beautiful September golden brown. Well, with Joni it’s simple, trauma she very much had to persevere with for so much of her life, gets recycled into older, wiser observer ‘The Boho Dance’, donning her latest robes for ‘In France They Kiss on Main Street’ Joni enjoys to the full her parting shot to all pretenders. Here on Parisienne soil, the truly liberated act and think as one. As different to ‘Blue’ as ‘Abbey Road’ is to ‘Rubber Soul’, Mitchell transforms all she touches into a glowing tribute to life’s very basic events; be they platonic love, isolation, embittered rage, all of which gradually succumb to Mitchell’s seductive swingy Jazzy drones secured in its harness by electric piano and devilishly good woodwinds that personified everything good 1975 had to offer.
