Sounds a bit third hand this one, Global, but Judy Collins made a short statement about Joni recently recovering, it would appear, from that aneurism.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostYou shouldn't believe what you read in the papers....they're on their own with that "interpretation of the facts"...

...and she's talking about doing a 'Judy does Joni' record - it's through Judy that I first heard Joni on my auntie's 'Wildflowers' LP - wouldn't mind another 'Joni does Joni' record, mind you.

When you say a 'Joni does Joni' record, do you mean brand new songs or another of her retakes on her own songs. Judy, in her mid-seventies is in really good voice and would do a really great Joni album.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostSounds a bit third hand this one, Global, but Judy Collins made a short statement about Joni recently recovering, it would appear, from that aneurism.

I suppose I mean brand new, cloughie. I'd love to hear something new - she's left the music stage too soon - given what she said to us through our youth and middle years, there's that sense in me that she must have something still to say in our late middle years.Originally posted by cloughie View PostComment

That's the problem with our generation, that never wanted to (or one day accept it would) grow old!Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostComment

True, S_A. Waiting for Joni to give us permission. Might have to take it on by ourselves and give her the permission to grow old.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

The second link especially is stunning.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
I love Joni's older voice and accompanying orchestration every bit as much as the younger one.
Also love that painting.
Whatever my comments about Peggy earlier, all deserved, I am closer emotionally to Joni.
Am not sure that I wholly subscribe to your comment, S_A, and wondered if it was posted ironically? Think it can be more complex.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
I'm not impressed by so-called "authoritative" adolescence but rather rue trends of diminishing in sophisticated adults the childlike.

QoThe 'Both Sides Now' album from 2000 is stunning, the arrangements superb, at times almost Wagnerian' and her remakes of 'A case of you' and 'Both sides now' fit in perfectly with standards such as 'At Last' and 'You're my thrill'.Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostThe second link especially is stunning.

Hi cloughie, Have just checked my CD collection and have "Travelogue" and "Dreamland" from the 2000s as well as "Shine". All brilliant!Originally posted by cloughie View Post
Joni Mitchell - The Night of the Iguana - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoc-WLD21PE
What I like about that track is that it has a WM feel, a 1970s feel, a 1980s feel, a 2000s feel, harks back to a film made in 1945 and it directly connects her with Dylan via the Augustine reference. The "Shine" album is not hugely orchestral and was principally new material. It is without question an unrecognised classic and was my album of its year.
Joni Mitchell - Shine from the CD Shine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL02RTGMrQg
Incidentally, the word that really stands out in that song is "simplicity".
When you have an artist like Mitchell, you just know it is a reference to Copland's "Simple Gifts" and how it has been used for better and worse. It is a "positional legacy" album
Everything about it reaffirms she was - and is - in music's Big League!

I think you have beat me to it on that Neil Young song and it wasn't long ago that I posted "Heart of Gold".
So "Harvest Moon" (1992) for a 70th Neil and also Rita and Eddie:
