This is really a tidy bit of writing. Notice the powerful rhyme scheme manifesting in lines 2 and 4, balanced quite handily by the opening line's internal rhyming. I submit that if you had flanging available at the time, you would have used it too. Quite a lot of it. This is clearly a distinctly British celebration of nature-on-acid, descending from the metaphysical poetic tradition, later echoed in America ny the Transcendalists. (Walden Pond is now a Park, and has ducks. I rest my case.) Perhaps our friends in London can enlighten us as to this park with the groovy ducks. The Small Faces can't quite agree on where it was, except 'somewhere in East London'. There is an Itchy Park somewhere in the city as well? According to reliable sources 'Itchykoo' may also refer to the old nettles-down-the-back.

Their explanation for the price is that this is an import from Japan. At the same time, they have the album at 79 Swedish Crowns (approx. 11,50 US-dollars) so why anyone would by this edition beats me. Anyhow, what I found refreshing is the description of moods. Is there anything we can add? Note "knotty" and "stately" - they had me laughing on the floor!

Though there have been multiple releases of the title, each one is assigned to specific releases. Japanese remasterings are usually much higher quality than originally produced early album cd releases. But I have found the Japanese imports, which usually go for about $31.00, of Joni titles are not superior to the the subsequently remastered domestic (USA) releases. Usually these will say HDMC on them. While adding that particular encoding the domestic releases WERE remastered from the original master tapes and sound much better than the first cd releases of Joni's vinyl catalog. Now if you find the GOLD CD release or the BSN DVD Audio titles I would say grab them. They are excellent, especially Blue and CAS.

At the same time, they have the album at 79 Swedish Crowns (approx. 11,50 US-dollars) so why anyone would by this edition beats me. It may be housed in a cardboard "mini LP" sleeve with the original artwork, which some people collect. Also, some Japanese editions have better sound quality. I don't know if either is true in this case, but I will tell you that in the US Japan editions run 20-30 dollars or so, unless they are out of print, in which case the price skyrockets.

Her most recent, "Black Cadillac", is excellent as well, with a great many if not most of the songs reflecting in some way about her father or his passing. Rosanne is one of those artists who might have received more notoriety if her music had not been eclipsed by the legend that was her father. To me she doesn't really even fall into the "country" category, instead she's more on a par with artists such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, who made a complete break with "country" some time ago. - -- - -Mark in Florida On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 9:18 AM, Laura Stanley wrote: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mAZ5s2ppYM ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:57:04 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: MOA vs Hissing >If I had to pick between MOA and Hissing, Hissing would win for me.> And me. To me, MOA was a bunch of twenty-somethings skimming along, playing light jazz. On THOSL, she had seasoned people and they were digging deeper. Jim L. But both of them are on my list of Joni's top 10 albums. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2008 #246 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
