Well, I finally finished listening to all of Joni Mitchell’s albums. I even listened to the two live albums she did, “Miles of Aisles” and “Shadow of the Light” which were both really good. I’m a huge fan of Joni Mitchell now. I couldn’t stop listening to her music ’cause her music got addicting to me. Yes, even Joni changed directions with her music over the years. She didn’t stay in one genre. She went from acoustic folk to jazz to 80’s pop music to rock n’ roll. You name it, she pretty much did it all. Her music will give you goosebumps and melt your face. I just love her beautiful singing and her songs.
I loved all the music she did but my top 5 favorite albums she did were:
1. Blue
2. Both Sides Now
3. Travelogue
4. Miles of Aisles (live album)
5. Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter
Those five were her best albums in her career, in my opinion.
Will Joni ever make a new album? Not so sure. A new Joni album will probably never happen ’cause she’s not in good health right now and she probably can’t sing anymore due to having brain aneurysm or something like that plus, I think Joni retired from the music business ’cause “Travelogue” was said it was to be her final album. Why did she quit the music business? She said she didn’t like where the music industry was headed. She got out of the industry ’cause she didn’t like how the industry controlled it’s artists and she wanted her own control. A new Joni Mitchell record will never happen… unless she decides to release never before released material from the vault. Would be cool.
On my way back home from vacation yesterday, I listened to quite a lot of music on my Ipad. Listened to two albums by Joni Mitchell last night. Listened to her albums, “Both Sides Now” and “Blue” which are both amazing and incredible albums. Joni’s songs are pretty powerful and intense. Even though her songs are pretty mellow, it’s still good relaxing music plus she has this incredible singing voice. I think I’m gonna wanna listen to more Joni Mitchell music so I went to Apple Music and added a bunch more of her studio albums to my library. Only thing though, Apple Music doesn’t have her entire discography of studio albums so I just added what they have. Probably ’cause not all of her music is not in the Itunes store.
That’s the thing with music artists… some are willing to put their entire discography of albums on Itunes/Apple Music but some are strict of what certain albums to put on there. I’ll have another topic on that soon.
Joni’s music is amazing, though. Think I’m a new fan of hers now. Whenever I need a break from listening to hard rock & metal, I’ll listen to stuff like this ’cause you need to listen to relaxing music sometimes, ya know?
Joni Mitchell, legendary folk singer, had a new interview with the L.A. Times. She spoke her thoughts on Bob Dylan. She claims that Bob Dylan is a fake. She thinks his music ripped off other artists. She also accuses him of plagiarism.
Well that’s kind of weird. Considering that Joni Mitchell have performed with him many times as you see in the picture above. I bet she also covered many of his songs. Since she seems such a huge fan of Bob Dylan, why would she say this now after all these years?
Who knows. Maybe Bob Dylan himself will actually agree with her. Dylan is a pretty weird guy in interviews and has a weird sense of humor. I’m not much of a Bob Dylan fan ’cause his folk music always reminded me of Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams Sr. Maybe those are the artists she’s referring to where Dylan stole his ideas from.
It may be harsh, but I think she’s right on the money. Bob Dylan is overrated.
