They remind me of, for example, Matty Groves and similar things from Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. djp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 14:19:02 +0000 (UTC) From: Jeff Clark Subject: The Industry Like Joni Mitchell What a great article this one is, describing her first album. "Her voice is primeval, with the purity of a balladeer isolated from society." So well written. How on earth does an article from the New York Free Press from 1968 show up in 1974!?? (That is the year we're in, right?) I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Joni playing a 12 string or recognize by sound a 12 string from her. Its hard enough keeping 6 strings in tune. And I don't understand why occasionally her music is described as "womens songs" any more than Paul Simon or Paul McCartney's music would be described as "mens songs." Great article.JeffNP Bob Marley, Get up Stand up ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:49:56 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: The Industry Likes Joni Mitchell I liked it as well, Jeff - I thought it interesting that the writer specifically stated that this was NOT folk music as it didn't follow the patterns of folk music. Pretty rare for someone writing about her in 1968. Heck, some people refer to C&S and HOSL as folk albums for cryin' out loud. I certainly would say that her "Born To Take The Highway" follows the folk form. Any others? Circle Game? Urge For Going?

Hi Nick Welcome to the fold Mine are For The Roses and Hejira but HOSL has a special place for me as well. Do you have the tape of The Seeding of Summer Lawns. They are demos from that album and its always interesting to me to see how songs grow and develop from the infant stage to adults.

Despite being on the list for many, many years this is my first post (I think!). I love Joni's music and enjoy reading everyone's views on different songs & lyrics. My fave albums are Hissing of Summer Lawns & Dog Eat Dog.
