OK, so I'm transcribing one of the articles, and the author writes: "Backed by a dream band, featuring Pat Metheny on guitar, Jaco Pastorius on bass, Michael Brecker on saxophones, and The Persuasions on back-up vocals, she intermixed the milestones of her career ("Woodstock," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Free Man in Paris," and "Raised on Rivalry") with the roots and branches of American music." Have I missed something?

Court and Spark was my first album, too. Next I bought "Ladies of the Canyon". I would recommend this one as Joni's voice sounds so young and sweet. She also sounds like she is having so much fun! If you really like deep, introspective music I would suggest "For The Roses", which is my favorite album. Although sometimes it's better to get to know the artist first, before "you dig too deep and lose good sleep" (as Joni would put it). Have fun with your new adventure and keep us posted!

Hi Susan, and welcome! My first Joni was Hejira, although I'd heard "Help Me" and "Free Man In Paris" on the radio back in the late 70s. My second Joni was the live album "Miles of Aisles," and I recommend it! The album gave me an "overview" of Joni's work up through 1974, plus there's a good deal banter between Joni and the audience. Whatever you choose though, you can't go wrong! Glad to have you here ... write more soon! Lori in MD ~ Yahoo!

( " court and spark " was joni's most commercially successful album.) happy tunes to you... jonily yours, warren keith p.s. then there is " dog eat dog..." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 May 2002 02:29:22 +0800 From: "James Phillips" Subject: which Joni cd to get next (for Susan) dear list: I am surprised that no one mentioned Joni's masterpiece "Blue" to Susan. For me, that was the first Joni album I ever bought when I was 15 years old (back in 1990). It's the one I have been known to flip back to and listen most to. Another album of Joni's I recommend is Joni's Shadows and LIghts double cd. It is a good smpler of Joni's late 70's experimental work. It also has the wonderful Joni and her guitar solo reading of "Woodstock on it" as well as "Free Man in Paris" on it.

What-ever happened to the collaboration between Prince and Joni? I remember having read something about it, but never knew the outcome. Any answers will be appreciated.

I don't know the source of my memory (and I can't find reference to it in the JMDL Library -- although I did notice the new photos of Joni in the upper left of various pages ... very nice, Les!), but didn't Joni once say that Blue was her personal favorite? (This would have been before Hejira was released.) Mack and James are right, Susan -- Blue is an excellent choice and it probably ranks as the Joni album most often featured in movies and TV shows, as well as being the Joni album most likely to be found in the "average" (meaning not Joni fanatic) "folk" music fan's record collection.

'Song to a Seagull' was the most beautiful, poetic, gorgeous music I had ever heard when I first heard it. In terms of genius of melody, poetry and vocal performance, there really weren't many artists at the time in its league. And more than thirty years later, it still remains a timeless masterpiece. Paul Peterson NYC P.S. And what's all this bunk about 'Dog Eat Dog'? 'Impossible Dreamer' may be one of the best songs written about John Lennon. 'Tax Free' is as true today as it was then and just as powerful. 'Lucky Girl', 'Three Great Stimulents'. Just wanted to counter what seems like a trend to dismiss this album. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #131 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
