Joni Mitchell
Court and Spark
180 gram vinyl cut from original masters and housed in a gatefold sleeve 'court and spark' found mitchell casting aside her earth mother affectations and revealing herself as the thoroughly modern thoroughly complicated woman she is the songs sustained familiar preoccupations with relationships but replaced courtly settings and naturalistic imagery with recognizably modern locales deeply romantic constantly questioning these classic tracks display a more liberated mitchell ready to rumble with unbridled electric guitars and even willing to poke fun at her own ohsosensitive rep with a hip cover of annie ross's hilarious 'twisted'
