Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2010. James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James, released earlier in the year, was still in heavy rotation on my turntable. In the jazzy “Conversation,” a man she wants seeks her advice about a shitty relationship he can’t bring himself to end.

Related: “Joni Mitchell’s Weird and Wonderful 80s Music”. So many of her songs have mirrored my life. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2020. Joni performed a few songs, but the fawning host was more interested in barraging Mitchell’s friends with questions about the experience she missed in order to be there. Obviously there were plenty of other female singers around. In order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. This is my favorite Joni era for music. Still, most of the music that nourished me—including the now classics I was enjoying on my window sill fifty years ago—was created and performed by men and reflected a male worldview. I would suspect that this was a used/returned album that was re-wrapped. Mitchell once described her emotional state during the period she was working on Blue as “like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes,” a condition that the dulcimer puts to sound, all sparkling, brittle fragility. Stephen Stills once told the journalist Ellen Sander that “every man within fifty feet falls in love with her.”, Critics followed suit. It didn't matter though, because CSY&N performed it and it became a huge success.

And Yaffe never tries to present Mitchell as a straightforwardly cooperative subject. More than any album, LADIES OF THE CANYON symbolizes what was essentially right about relationships and dreams in the just-barely idealistic sixties and early seventies. Joni expressed things I was feeling that I had never heard a female artist express before. Yaffe, a humanities professor at Syracuse University, is a self-professed Mitchell obsessive. The album’s title song is a tender portrait of three women—Trina, Annie, and Estrella—actual people in the community of artists, musicians, and seekers who converged in Laurel Canyon in the mid to late sixties. Making the most of his proximity, he pulls off the feat that has eluded so many of his predecessors: He forges an intimacy with Mitchell on her own, uncompromising terms by truly listening to her, as closely and as generously as she’s always deserved. Nor does she need to. He opens with a story of being chewed out by her in 2007 for using a particular adjective—middle class—to describe her home in a profile he wrote of her for The New York Times. I don’t know if “horrific” is an accurate description – she’s been seen publicly with more frequency in the last few years.

My ‘becoming adulthood’ too. I would say it's a must have for any fan or somebody just delving into Joni. As he appreciates, her problem wasn’t just that she found it unflattering, but that she deemed it imprecise. The top hitmakers of that year included Aretha Franklin (“Don’t Play That Song”), Diana Ross (“Ain’t No Mountain high Enough”), Freda Payne (“Band of Gold”), Dionne Warwick (“I’ll Never Fall In Love Again”), Linda Ronstadt (“Long Long Time”), Anne Murray (“Snowbird”), Mary Hopkin (“Temma Harbour”), Marilyn McCoo as lead singer of The Fifth Dimension (“One Less Bell To Answer”), Karen Carpenter as lead singer of The Carpenters (“Close To You”), Susan Jacks as lead singer of The Poppy Family (“Which Way You Goin’, Billy”), Tina Turner as lead singer of Ike & Tina Turner (“I Want To Take You Higher”), etc.

Joni’s version of “Woodstock” created an entirely different feel from the already familiar CSNY version on Déjà Vu. But it’s the album that has most seductively metonymized the singer in the minds of fans and critics in the decades since its release. Additional taxes may apply. I, for one, am glad someone as brilliant and compassionate as Ms Mitchell was there to immortalize it.

“By the time of my fourth album,” she told Crowe. This music is timeless yet depicts a time in our nations' history that tells a tale of unrest in men, women and relationships.
