Just got finished listening to it. Joni is in fine voice. If you liked BSN, you are going to like this. It's too much orchestration for my taste. I don't much care for gilded Joni. Have always much preferred Joni and a solo guitar or piano. Anything else added to the mix has always been unnecessary in my book. The recording and engineering are superb, as with most of Joni's productions. And the selections are all primo. Can't wait for people to hear it and post their personal reactions to it.

I suspect they mean members of SOCAN.

By chance I saw the last record from Diana Krall called "Live in Paris (Live at the Olympia). You can find inside a very good version of "a case of you" . I also bought the last Sinead O'Connor record. It contains a lot of traditionnal celtic songs and more specially the number 12 called "Lord Baker". You have to listen this one. It's terribly beautiful. I'll be interested in listening the Prince Version of "A case of you" ... I know he plays that song every night during his Europe Tour (He was in Paris on October 28 th but the concert was sold out only 2 hours after they began to sell tickets...

Is it entirely like BSN, or does she get a little more experimental with the orchestra? Any stand out cuts from your perspective? While I like BSN, I will be a little disappointed if she didn't kick it up a notch with this one. Jack ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2002 17:01:30 EST From: Merk54@aol.com Subject: Bob Dylan First off, for all of the Joni Only's, this is nothing but Bob - but by virtue of their shared qualities, I feel he fits the Joni Only category. If you disagree, feel free to delete now, with my apologies. I saw Bob in Chicago last night, as a surprising empty Allstate Arena (by empty, I mean it was only 80-85% sold out). If you haven't seen Bob perform in a while, and you consider yourself even a minor fan, do yourself a favor, and get tickets the next time he comes around in your area. I can't imagine you being disappointed. If seen him numerous times in the last couple of years, and he seems to really be enjoying himself. His set list is pretty much top drawer from start to finish, and covers the gambit from a strikingly beautiful acoustic version of Masters of War, to a rambunctious cover of Brown Sugar. His version of Niel Young's Old Man was a revelation, and coming from someone of Bob's age, it put a new twist on the song - instead of plea to the Old Man to recall what he was like in his youth, it had the air of a confessional, that even though he couldn't relate to his Old Man while growing up, now that he is there himself, he isn't all that different. "Old Man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you". Definite goose bump material. As a man in upper 40's who never got along with his father, this definitely hit home. Other highlights for me were a blistering, Slow Train Coming sort of take on the new High-Water (For Charley Patton), an amazing version of Just Like a Woman, a storming All Along the Watchtower, and two beautiful covers of Warren Zevon songs (Accidentally Like a Martyr and Mutineer). Oh yeah, and a killer version of Things Have Changed. My only complaint is about Bob's new found fondness for playing the keyboard. While it served High-Water extremely well, for the most part, the songs he played guitar on seemed to kick it up a notch. But hey, if playing the keyboards is giving him pleasure, what the hell. Anyway - if you have the chance, go see him. I can't imagine you walking away disappointed that you did.

However both Amazon.co. and Tower Records are advertising the album on pre-order giving the 19th as the date of release. Not really reliable sources i have to admit. The 18th seems a more feasible release date as that is a Monday and, generally, they tend to release new albums on Mondays in the UK don't they? Thanks for the info on www.play.com. the price inc delivery seems really good. No idea why 'Coyote' has been left off.

The following is an article about Tori Amos' new album, "Scarlet's Walk." I have never paid any attention to Tori, but the concept for this new work intrigues me. Has anyone heard it yet? What do you think? I found the article at: << http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/usatoday/20021031/en_usatoday/4 580229 >> The Joni content is in the final paragraph. Amos' 'Walk' goes in search of America's soul Thu Oct 31, 8:42 AM ET Elysa Gardner USA TODAY NEW YORK While touring over the past year, Tori Amos met many fans who were eager to talk. But one encounter made a particularly deep impression on the singer. ''There was this Native American woman,'' Amos recalls. ''She was older, and she hadn't come to hear the music -- she could have cared less. She just sat down and said, 'I have a message for you.' And do you know what she said?'' Amos leans forward on her sofa and lowers her voice slightly, as if to relay an important secret. ''She said, 'The white brother took the land, but unfortunately, that's all he took. It's time that he takes more.' She was saying, in essence, that those who own the land and those who hold it are two different entities, and that it's time they came together.'' Such theories and observations informed Amos' new CD, Scarlet's Walk, which arrived Tuesday. The singer/songwriter describes the album, her first collection of new material since 1999's To Venus and Back, as a sort of musical search for America's soul. The 18 tracks take a mysterious figure named Scarlet -- more about her shortly -- from coast to coast. Her journey invites listeners to reflect on events ranging from Sept. 11 to the forced Native American migration of the Trail of Tears, which directly affected the Eastern Cherokee family of Amos' mother. (The CD also allows access to ''Scarlet's Web,'' a feature on Amos' Web site including maps that offer more specific insights into the songs via photos, commentary and behind-the-scenes video footage.) Being a Tori Amos project, of course, Scarlet's Walk is considerably quirkier in its use of imagery and metaphor than your average historical essay. Scarlet may be a person or a symbol of something bigger. Amos chose the name partly to suggest a thread running through the story, ''because scarlet was actually a fabric before it was a color.'' ''Scarlet is my character in the story,'' Amos explains. ''She starts off going to see a friend who's a fading porn star, Amber Waves'' -- also the name of Julianne Moore (news)'s porn-star character in the film Boogie Nights, Amos points out. ''I go to L.A., to the other side of the 405 (freeway), where all the cheesy porn movies are made. I know there are great ones, but I'm not talking about the great ones. Poor Amber.'' From there, Scarlet embarks on an adventure that eventually finds her on a plane heading from Boston to New York. ''And another woman gets on another plane, but her plane doesn't make it down. Then my character feels what she felt before she died.'' Amos says she came up with the plane-crash scenario before 9/11, ''but I didn't know what it meant. I didn't know what some other references I was coming up with meant, either.'' When the tragedy occurred, Amos was in New York, preparing for a TV appearance. She was about to release a compilation of cover songs called Strange Little Girls and begin a tour. ''We started getting a lot of e-mails from people asking us not to cancel, because everyone was canceling shows, and people felt they needed a place to congregate, to just be together. ''So we went on the road. It was a time when people were telling us stories - -- in letters, before and after shows. I've never experienced an openness like that, where people needed so much to talk, because nobody knew what tomorrow would bring -- or if there would be a tomorrow. People in different cities responded in different ways, but for once we weren't isolated. After 30 or 40 years of living in a grown-up Disneyland, where we felt no one could hurt us, we were finally experiencing what it's like to be part of the world.'' The experience fueled Amos' eagerness to re-examine her own Native American roots. ''The land has a story here, and it's not about King Arthur,'' says the singer, who now lives in England with her British husband, sound engineer Mark Hawley, and their 2-year-old daughter, Natashya. ''Even though many of us are part European, we have our own rich history and mythology. But we haven't handed it to our students and our children the way other cultures have.'' Amos is encouraged, though, by the rising profile of young female singer/songwriters who also are exploring issues of personal and social relevance. ''The winds are changing,'' she says. ''People want thinkers and poets and songwriters. There's always a place for entertainers -- we all love them. They make us giggle, and they make us want to sing and dance with them, and that's important. But I think we're beginning to get what could be the equivalent of the Laura Nyros and Joni Mitchells and Roberta Flacks of the next guard. If that's starting to happen, it's really good news.'' ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #324 ********************************* ------- 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?
