Info for Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975) (Remastered)

"Joni Mitchell Archives": Die Grammy-ausgezeichnete Reihe geht in die dritte Runde und beleuchtet die Jahre 1972-1975.

Es warten u. a. nie zuvor gehörte Demos, frühe und alternative Versionen von Klassikersongs, historische Performances und ein 40-seitiges Buch mit Fotos und Gesprächen mit Joni & Cameron Crowe, außerdem Sessions mit James Taylor, Neil Young & Tom Scott & the L.A. Express.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1972. Joni Mitchell hatte jüngst „Ladies of the Canyon” (1970) und Blue (1971) veröffentlicht, zwei Alben, die beide Platin-Status erlangten und ihr einzigartiges Talent als Songwriterin ebenso untermauerten wie eine seltene poetische Begabung. Es waren Alben, deren Kunstfertigkeit und Wahrhaftigkeit Generationen von Songwriter:innen beeinflussen und inspirieren sollten. Doch Joni Mitchell hatte in diesem Moment ganz andere Sorgen: Egal, was sie tat, ständig wurde es in den Medien plattgewalzt. Von der Wahl ihres Stils bis zu ihren Liebesbeziehungen, war ihr Lebensstil Thema in den Klatschspalten und das nach ihrem Gefühl wesentlich öfter als ihre männlichen Kollegen.

Mitchell wurde immer argwöhnischer und hatte bereits 1970 ihren vorzeitigen Abschied von der Bühne angekündigt. In der Folge zog sie in die ruhigen Weiten der Sunshine Coast von British Columbia in Kanada. Es war ein fruchtbarer Tapetenwechsel. Inspiriert von der Nähe zur Natur und erfrischt von der friedlichen Abgeschiedenheit, begann sie mit der Arbeit an den Songs, die zu „For The Roses“ werden sollten, ihr im November 1972 veröffentlichtes Album. Und nicht nur das: die Auszeit schien in Mitchell neue kreative Schleusen zu öffnen, die in der Folge weitere Alben hervorbrachte, neben „For The Roses“ außerdem „Court And Spark“ (1974) und „The Hissing Of Summer Lawns“ (1975), die ihren musikalischen Wirkungsbereich gleichzeitig erweitern und verfeinern sollten. Die waghalsigen, komplizierten Arrangements und ihre immer größere Wirkmacht als Bandleaderin sorgten dafür, dass diese Songs genau wussten, wo sie hinwollten. Sie waren kraftvoll und voller Aufbruchsstimmung – eine der aufregendsten Phasen in einer nahezu unvergleichlichen Karriere.

Diese Ära rückt auf „Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975)“ noch stärker in den Fokus, das am 6. Oktober 2023 bei Rhino Records erscheint. Es ist die jüngste Ausgabe von Rhinos fortlaufender, Grammy-gekrönter Reihe, die Licht in das Dunkel der riesigen, unerschlossenen Archive seltener Joni-Mitchell-Aufnahmen bringt, auf eindringliche Weise geprägt von Mitchells eigener Vision und persönlicher Note.

Joni Mitchell

Digitally remastered

Joni Mitchell began as the archetype of the folkie female singer-songwriter, an heir to Joan Baez. But she quickly moved forward, incorporating influences from jazz and the blues. 'Joni Mitchell heard Billie Holiday sing 'Solitude' when she was about nine years old — and she hasn't been the same since,' says Herbie Hancock. Those lessons of emotional vulnerability are evident in her delicate soprano trill, as well as in the undisguised wear of the sultry voice of her later work, punctuated by her jazzy syncopation. 'Joni's got a strange sense of rhythm that's all her own,' Bob Dylan told Rolling Stone. Above all, Mitchell won't be boxed in. 'The way she phrases always serves the lyrics perfectly, and yet her phrasing can be different every time,' Hancock says. 'She's a fighter for freedom.' (Source: Rolling Stone Magazine)
