Ladies of the Canyon Specifications
Joni Mitchell's third album offers a bridge between the artful but sometimes dour meditations of her earlier work and the more mature, confessional revelations of the classics that would follow. Voice and guitar still hew to the pretty filigree of a folk poet, but there's the giggling rush of rock & roll freedom in "Big Yellow Taxi," and the formal metaphor of her older songs ("The Circle Game," already oft-covered by the time of this recording) yields to the more impressionistic images of the new ones ("Woodstock"). The dark lyricism of her earliest ballads is intact (on "For Free" and "Rainy Night House"), yet there's a prevailing idealism here that sounds poignant alongside the warier, more mature songs to come on Blue and Court And Spark. --Sam Sutherland
Customer Reviews
This was the third album by Jon and it was due to clouds, the versions on the album with Both Sides Now Joni just tomorrow and Chelsea. The expectations for this album were probably very high in terms of their release. These expectations were fully away from people like Joni their roots a bit 'using a bit' wider musical accompaniment, particularly justified the addition of a piano. I love the little support that Joni used the song of a seagull and the clouds, but I'm in the minorityFolk stated that way. I suspect that most people, the slight change in the way you welcomed here. It 'still easily recognizable, like folk music, something that can not be told by Joni albums from the mid-seventies, although I love the album, but in a different way.
The songs here are excellent. The first piece, Morning Morgantown, paints a picture of the city every day in the morning. In the next song guilt Joni express themselves through paidfor voice, in contrast to their situation with that of a street musician playing the clarinet for free. Many other classic songs follow, but I quote only the last three tracks.
Joni wrote Woodstock, which then gives a number one UK hit with a cover of Matthews Southern Comfort, although not actually reproduce the famous case. Big Yellow Taxi, revoked the single from the album, Joni came with his only major UK hit single, narrowly missing the top ten. It's a great songrelevant that in the past year, in 1970, commented on how much of the natural world for the development of a type or destroyed. The album closes with Circle Game, a great song, like life just goes in circles.
Joni recorded many albums of great music styles, but these prices are certainly one of their best, as far as I'm concerned.
