I'm OK with that list. It is goofy that they mention "Both Sides Now" and "Clouds" as if they are two different songs. D'oh! 
But all in all, great praise and they rightfully call her 1970-1974 run as one of the strongest ever which is true.

Subject: Hidden Treasures.....

AMERICANA ALBUM DEFINES ITSELF AS "TRUE GEM"

 

In 1965, Elektra Records issued what would become for many years a rare
collector's album that was most notable for perhaps popularizing the term
"singer-songwriter". Featuring tracks from four obscure troubadours from the
budding Greenwich Village folk scene, the "Singer Songwriter Project" was
released without fanfare. Yet it captured the sense of both the spirit of
the genre and the direction it was heading.

 

The album project featured Patrick Sky, Bruce Murdoch, David Cohen (aka
Blue), who went on to write the Eagles' hit "Outlaw Man" and joined Bob
Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review in 1975, and Dick (Richard) Farina, who
penned "Birmingham Sunday", a song later recorded by his future
sister-in-law, Joan Baez.

 

While the "Singer Songwriter Project" was never considered a seminal
recording, it did capture the imagination of Swedish music industry veteran
Peter Holmstedt, whose independent A&R, promotion and marketing company
Hemifran has worked with artists ranging from Jack Bruce and Jackson Browne,
to Judy Collins and Sid Griffin (the Long Ryders and the Coal Porters), and
to Elliott Murphy (who also penned the liner notes for the new release) to
Gary Wright.

 

50 years from the original project, Holmstedt has just commemorated the work
with the release of "Hidden Treasures - Singer Songwriters From Home", a
collection of songs from 4 distinct artists whose 18 tracks flow seamlessly
through a collection of well-told stories put to song.

 

The players hail from different parts of the USA - Keith Miles from
Nashville, Barry Ollman from Denver, Greg Copeland from Los Angeles and Bob
Cheevers from Austin. They don't appear on each other's songs. They've never
played together before. But a listen through this album, which will be
available on September 4th, 2015, creates a feeling of four old friends
sitting in at a writers-in-the-round show in a small club "somewhere in
America".

 

The first 4 songs set that stage well. Copeland opens with "Wait for Me," a
plaintive ballad of powerful prose backed by a sweetly strummed acoustic
guitar, uilleann pipes (by Patrick Sky, from the original "Singer Songwriter
Project"!) and an Irish fiddle. Miles powerfully and beautifully sings
"Playing Your Guitar", an ode to the memories that can be found in an old
six-string, a song he co-wrote with good friend and Nashville guitar store
owner Kim Peery Sherman.

 

On "These Are My Words", Cheevers, singing in a distinctive Willie
Nelson-esque vibrato, weaves a songwriter's confessional that his fictional
tales of love are indeed real. Ollman follows with "Longtime Friend", a
melodic story about true friendship that includes a well-turned shout out to
Righteous Brothers: 'The search is on for that loving feeling, in the end
it's true we are on our own, I think it is better walking there together,
step by step into the great unknown'.

 

As should be expected when this many songwriters independently work on a
project, the cuts run a gamut of styles, both in terms of the stories they
tell and the music behind them, which makes them Americana at its best.
Miles' "Homeland", which he co-wrote with longtime collaborator Jack Sundrud
and was later recorded by Kenny Rogers, and Ollman's "Murmuration" are both
soaring and deep-felt homages to prairie life and starlings in flight,
respectively. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", Cheevers throws in a
delightful homespun musical interpretation of Washington Irving's famous
tale.

 

Miles is at his best on "Kerouac Days", which captures the carefree spirit
of the great beat writer, and on the smile-inducing toe-tapper "Ask Me
Tomorrow", which cautions his muse: 'I ain't got time for you to wait to
take a chance, when I move you know I like to hit the gas. I like my tea
with gin and lots of sassafras, staying one step in front of sorrow'.

 

Cheevers is wistful on "Progress", capturing what many of us think, that
'fool's gold' is sometimes disguised as change. Copeland brings along a
couple of friends David Lindley and Jackson Browne on "Are You Here" and a
recorded-live "Pretty Girl Rules the World", which Browne says is like a
Beach Boys song if the Beach Boys had been political.

 

It just works.

 

The beauty of "Hidden Treasures - Singer Songwriters From Home" album is in
its sequencing, a production feat that allows each song to stand fully on
its own while gelling together to form a unified work of music. That
sequencing, and the quality of each individual piece, is what allows the
album to continue getting better with each run-through as it takes the
listener through these stories from home.

 

'Singer-songwriter' is a hard term to clearly define. It's not actually a
genre, neither is it just someone singing the songs they wrote. Perhaps in
the end it is a state of mind, both of those doing the writing and singing,
and those of us doing the listening. Most would agree, however, that the key
ingredient is storytelling - through words and music, with each driving the
other. On this measure, "Hidden Treasures - Singer Songwriters From Home"
defines itself as a true gem.

"Clouds" (NOT A SONG), "Both Sides Now," "Big Yellow Taxi." <snip>

Not sure about that. Of the pre-Beatles rock acts, which usually seem to be around there, it's usually Elvis I would think but obviously he doesn't qualify here. Chuck Berry definitely has the biggest legacy after Elvis, so it doesn't surprise me.

I have to admit I have Bob Dylan on my iPod, but more often that not I hit the
skip button.
In the Rolling Stone article on Joni it says (quote):
Mitchell's run of albums from 1970's Ladies of the Canyon to 1974's Court and
Spark, on which she perfected a jazz-bent studio pop, rival any streak of
record-making in pop history, and her lyrical depictions of the ecstasy and
heartbreak that came with being a strong woman availing herself of the sexual
independence of the Sixties and Seventies offer a unique emotional travelogue
of the era. "I had no personal defenses," she said of her writing at the time.
"I felt like a cellophane rapper on a pack of cigarettes."

End quote....

Either I'm out of touch with rap music and there is now a genre for
'cellophane rappers', or Rolling Stone has no editors, and Joni actually meant
"I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes". I would bet for
the latter interpretation.
