[Lori Renee Fye ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 13:09:48 -0700 From: Shari Subject: Would you Happy Friday! I admire Joni so much and I always wonder what it would have been like to live her life. But I almost feel more fortunate to have been a fan bc of the heartache and bodyache she had to endure much less the media misunderstanding / rejection. I get to feel the captivation of Dawntreader anytime I like. I don't think she even allows herself to enjoy her music. I know this is an extreme fan question but what do you think? Would you have walked in her shoes if you had the choice? Like a promise to be free, Shari ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 12:29:09 +0100 From: Jamie Zubairi Home Subject: Re: CMIARS/Now Shine too I'm loving this discussion! For me CMIARS was the first new album I came in on in 1988 having only just fell in love with LOTC and I kinda thought 'Oh WOW, I guess she's gone the way of Marianne Faithful, vocally' so it took some time to really get used to, having really loved the helium soprano that got me hooked, it was a complete turnaround to getting used to a new artist. I had it on tape and it was one to really immerse myself in once I had bought a better sound system. I loved the production of it, especially the haunting piano on My Secret Place and the layering of instruments. Someone said it was a choral album, with guest vocalists, which I'd never thought of as that before, more a dutes album but, yes, it does fell like more of a choric album. I guess I don't buy that much new music, or listen to new musicians, having being spoilt by the high standards that I hold Joni in and people always try and recommend me so-and-so "because she's just like Joni". (Really? I can't hear it - or yeah, she's too like Joni, where is SHE in it?) but now I've got into other artists who come from a folk root, but mainly bands (Anathallo, Beirut, Fanfarlo etc etc) who don't bear any resemblance to Joni's music but they tend to have a horn section, multiple voices and good arrangements... so she's given me that at least). My favourite thing about Shine is that 'Night of The Iguana' DOESN'T have any castanets in it, real, or synthesised, just where you're expecting to hear them in the arrangement just after she says "Can you hear the castanets?" (No). I do like Shine for all the crochety grandma-ness of it. I can't wait to hear a sung version (if ever there will be) of 'This Rain'... will love to hear what she'll do with the limited range.

Leslie, thank you so much for mentioning this. I'm removing the NJC tag for this post only, just to alert people who may not realize that some of the JMDL posts sometimes end up in "spam" folders. I just checked my "spam" folder and there were at least a dozen posts there. Yikes.
