Album Notes Personnel includes: Joni Mitchell (vocals, acoustic guitar).Recorded at A&M Studios, Hollywood, California.All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.Mitchell's second album, like her first, focuses almost exclusively on her acoustic guitar and voice. Though the sound is similar to her debut recording, there's a lot of progression evident in the songwriting here. Mitchell comes across as the quintessential folk poet, highly literate, guardedly emotional, somewhat collegiate, but full of enough talent and idiosyncrasy to pull listeners into her web. "Both Sides Now," a beautiful low-key anthem of disillusionment from which the album's title is derived, became something of an anthem for the Woodstock set. Other, less well-known tunes like "That Song About the Midway" and the mysterious-sounding "Roses Blue" make just as much of an impression. The joyous "Chelsea Morning" would eventually provide President Clinton with a name for his daughter (even if he did think Judy Collins wrote the song). | |||||||||||||||

Report this review Joni Mitchell - Clouds (CD 1988)Review created: 09/06/07(updated 01/07/07) by: 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. The first four albums I ever bought, when I was 14, were James Taylor's 'Mud Slide Slim', Carole King's 'Tapestry', Cat Stevens' 'Teaser and the Firecat' and Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'. I subsequently bought Joni Mitchell's previous and later albums, all except this one, 'Clouds', for some reason. Well, now I have a copy and although it will never mean the same to me as the others because I haven't known most of the songs nearly so long, it is great to at last have 'Chelsea Morning' and 'Both Sides, Now' to play whenever I want (and I do). Ageing hippydom is upon me. :) Update: I've had this CD for a little while now, and had to come back to say there is a lot more to this beautiful CD than 'Chelsea Morning' and 'Both Sides, Now', great songs though they are. Thoughtful, moving lyrics and lovely melodies have made this CD a firm favourite. If you've ever been newly in love and unsure of the situation - and I'm guessing that's everyone - you will be moved by 'I Don't Know Where I Stand', I don't care how old and cynical you may be. You still have a memory. Review ID: 10000000003774524 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
