Crafted songs are bathed in a warm, textured backing, courtesy of Tom Scott's L.A. Express, a sinuous jazz-based combo. Her expressive voice weaves in and around engaging melodies that support and enhance the imagery suggested by evocative, personal lyrics. The title track alone is worth the price of admission, but the gorgeous lilt of "Help Me" and the elegant sweep of "Free Man In Paris" show an artist in firm control of her craft. A measured, thoughtful album, COURT AND SPARK confirmed Mitchell as one of the most important and subtle talents of the rock era. | |||||||||||||||
