[tony sandy ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 15:59:56 +0100 From: tony sandy Subject: Wow! I hate to say it but Joni Mitchell wasn't one of my favourite singers. I remember Both Sides Now, Clouds, Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock but nothing touched me until watching The Documentary, Joni Mitchell Heart & Soul. I didn't realise that I'd missed such a beautiful album as Turbulent Indigo. Sex Kills caught my attention and I thought 'Wow!' Joni has matured from a folk singer into a Jazz artist and more than that the most wonderful protest singer I've ever heard. So I bought the album and discovered The Sire of Sorrow on it! The poetry on this and Sex Kills blew me away. It inspired me so much I'm compiling ideas for a short story based on this song and commentaries on Job, the original book in the Bible. Johnny Cash and Hurt was the last time anything affected me so strongly. I had a disastrous relationship at the time Rumours came out and that shattered me too. Before that Today and Coming Back to Me by Jefferson Airplane, moved me as did Sandy Denny in Fairport Convention. I hope subsequent albums are as good.
