Info for Wild Things Run Fast (Remastered)

Joni Mitchell hat vielleicht nie den ganz großen kommerziellen Erfolg wie Carole King oder Janis Joplin und vielleicht lag dies auch einfach daran, dass Sie es liebte mit Musik zu experimentieren. Somit passte sie eben nicht in das Folk-Genre und auch nicht wirklich zum Jazz und obwohl einige Nummern nach Pop klingen schaut im nächsten Moment schon die Avantgarde um die Ecke. Jedenfalls beim diesem 1982er Album gelang Ihr ein Werk aus einem Guss.

Nach fünf Jahren Abstinenz aus dem Studio erschien Wild Things run Fast und wurde mit Platz 25 der amerikanischen Top 500 sogar fast erfolgreich. Wesentlich erfolgreicher sollte das Werk bei HiFi-Fans werden, denn die anspringende Dynamik, die in ihrem Klang deutlich an spätere Donald Fagen Produktionen erinnert, und die makellos herausgearbeitete Stimme eigneten sich wunderbar zu Demonstrationszwecken. Gastmusiker wie Lionel Ritchie, James Taylor und Victor Feldman schadeten ebenfalls nicht.

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)
