Mitchell's 'Court and Fire' Brilliant, Sensuous Music
By TIM BRADLEY
Kansan Reviewer
Each new vinyl visitation from Joni Mitchell is a natural, almost organic excerpt. She's known for her work forms a cohesive catalogue of her development as a musician and a person. In the span of her six albums, we see her grow from a fingerpicking folkie to a mature
I was thunderstruck by the absolutely unbridled brilliance of her latest work, Court and Spark. The album runs a couple of weeks before the trumpeters to a rock'n'roll kicker to quiet intropective forays. Because of the subtle production on many levels, each song oozes swirls and swirls of such sensuous music that I worry about the mere holding up my water.

Singing out songs would be picking nits; the album forms a conceptual whole, and each song seems to grow out of or melt into the songs around it.
I will mention that that 'Raised on Robbery' is her first try at straight rock'n'roll, and Mitchell proves that she can fox a pretty man trot.
"Twisted" is a real nine-wrinkler at first but a few more spins class Mitchell's rendition far above Bette Milder's slicker reading of the same time. The other cubs are often called the "Midnight Alabama" album is one of the worstest wedges of wix to come down on the pike in a long time.
