Otherwise, how in the world could someone who cares so profoundly about her art, and cares so much about what others think of her art, have allowed the vocal performance on the new recording of Judgement of the Moon and Stars (in its entirety) or Sex Kills (the closing moments) to be included in such a lovely, meticulously crafted project? > Not to mention those "Head of a man"s in SLOUCHING -- that make me afraid that the head of a certain woman is about to BLOW clear OFF! ;-) I really DON'T understand why someone didn't suggest she have another go at JUDGEMENT. Other than those gaffes, though, I find Joni's singing -- despite the limitations -- sensational.

The line is actually: "Your snatch is liberation, doll."

Thanks to you for taking it and to Jimmy to for linkin' it. - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 23:52:35 -0500 From: "jacka1z" Subject: Pro-Travelogue vote My first post, hi y'all. >Otherwise, how in the world could someone who cares so >profoundly about her art, and cares so much about what others think of her >art, have allowed the vocal performance on the new recording of Judgement >of >the Moon and Stars (in its entirety) or Sex Kills (the closing moments) to be >included in such a lovely, meticulously crafted project? I think Joni's honesty is so critical to her storytelling. So she's not going to stop now. She is proud, to a certain extent, of who she is. She's not perfect and never has been. So I definitely appreciate that honesty and vulnerability.

After all, Travelogue IS showcasing Joni's VOICE, tributing 22 of her fave songs. As I've gushed ever since I first joined this list in 1997, I think her voice & phrasing have improved with each successive album. T'log far surpasses my wildest expectation & I still think it's quite possibly her best yet! For three weeks now I've listened to the whole thing every day. It's flawless folks. Never have I enjoyed an album more, seriously. The way I see it, Joni Mitchell has finally become a GREAT singer, sort of like the female Frank Sinatra of our time. I also see T'log as a major challenge to the disco/grunge/pop/puke dominating the airwaves for decades!!! Pre-WTRF fans have been complaining about Joni's post-C&S voice. Wasn't Mingus the third nail in Joni's coffin after her initially panned Hejira & DJRD? It wasn't until the late 80s & 90s that these seminal works began to become universally recognized. To me if a listener always skips over Paprika Plains when they play DJRD, they are not truly a Joniphile! T'log reminds me a lot of Paprika Plains..... I'm glad that T'log won't be eligible for a grammy until 2004 because it might take at least till then for people to begin to grasp the awesome beauty of it. Unapologetically, ET NP: Hejira (T'log) my fave version yet, along with most of the other 22 songs. PS. Does this make me a Joni Fundamentalist??? ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #396 ********************************* ------- 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?
