Uncompromising and iconoclastic, Mitchell lost expectations at every turn; restlessly innovational, her music evolved from deeply personal family stylings into pop, jazz, avant-garde, and even worldly concern music, presaging the multicultural experimentation of the 1980s and 1990s by over a decade. Fiercely main, her work steadfastly resisted the whims of both mainstream audiences and the male-dominated recording industry. While Mitchell's records ne'er sold in the same numbers puddle enjoyed by contemporaries like Carole King, Janis Joplin, or Aretha Franklin, none experimented so recklessly with their artistic identities or so bravely explored territorial dominion away of the recognised confines of pop music, resulting in a creative bequest which paved the management for performers ranging from Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde to Madonna and Courtney Love. Born Roberta Joan Anderson in Fort McLeod, Alberta, Canada, on November 7, 1943, she was stricken with infantile paralysis at the age of baseball club; spell convalescent in a children's hospital, she began her performing vocation by singing to the other patients. After later teaching herself to play guitar with the assistance of a Pete Seeger instruction ledger, she went off to art college, and became a fixture on the tribe music setting about Alberta. After relocating to Toronto, she married folksinger Chuck Mitchell in 1965, and began performing under the nominate Joni Mitchell. A year later the duo moved to Detroit, MI, merely detached presently after; Joni remained in the Motor City, however, and north Korean won significant urge hail for her burgeoning songwriting skills and smoky, classifiable vocals, in the lead to a string of high profile performances in New York City. There she became a cause célèbre among the media and other performers; after she gestural to Reprise in 1967, David Crosby offered to produce her debut criminal record, a self-titled acoustic attempt that appeared the following year. Her songs besides ground peachy success with other singers: in 1968, Judy Collins scored a major attain with the Mitchell-penned "Both Sides Now," patch Fairport Convention covered "Easterly Rain" and Tom Rush recorded "The Circle Game." Thanks to all of the outside exposure, Mitchell began to pull in a hard cult following; her 1969 sophomore effort, Clouds, reached the Top 40, patch 1970's Ladies of the Canyon sold level better on the strength of the single "Handsome Yellow Taxi." It besides included her anthemic opus "Woodstock," a major strike for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Still, the commercial and critical approval awarded her landmark 1971 record Blue was unprecedented: a luminous, starkly confessional go under written primarily during a European holiday, the album steadfastly established Mitchell as one of pop music's most noteworthy and insightful talents. Predictably, she turned aside from Depressed's incandescent folk with 1972's For the Roses, the first of the many major stylistic turns she would take over the course of her daring life history. Backed by rock-jazz performing artist Tom Scott, Mitchell's music began moving into more pop-oriented territory, a change typified by the individual "You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio)," her first significant hit. The followup, 1974's authoritative Court and Spark, was her nigh commercially successful outing: a sparkling, jazz-accented fix, it reached the number deuce smirch on the U.S. album charts and launched trey hit singles -- "Serve Me," "Justify Man in Paris," and "Elevated on Robbery." After the 1974 live compendium Miles of Aisles, Mitchell emerged in 1975 with The Hissing of Summer Lawns, a bold, near new wave record that housed her progressively complex songs in experimental, jazz-inspired settings; "The Jungle Line" introduced the rhythms of African Burundi drums, placing her far in front of the kill world's mid-'80s fascination with public music. 1976's Hegira, recorded with Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius, smoothened out the music's more difficult edges while employing minimalist techniques; Mitchell later performed the album's first base single, "Coyote," at the Band's Final Waltz concert that Thanksgiving. Her next travail, 1977's two-record rig Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, was some other ambitious move, a compendium of foresightful, largely improvisational pieces recorded with jazz players Larry Carlton and Wayne Shorter, Chaka Khan, and a stamp battery of Latin percussionists. Shortly after the record's spillage, Mitchell was contacted by the legendary jazz bassist Charles Mingus, wHO invited her to make with him on a musical rendering of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets. Mingus, wHO was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, sketched out a series of melodies to which Mitchell added lyrics; however, Mingus died on January 5, 1979, in front the disc was completed. After Mitchell finished their collaborationism on her own, she recorded the songs under the title Mingus, which was released the summer later on the jazz titan's pass. Following her second live compendium, 1980's Shadows and Light, Mitchell returned to pop district for 1982's Godforsaken Things Run Fast; the first individual, a cover of the Elvis Presley hit "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care," became her first chart single in eight age. Shortly after the album's spillage, she marital bassist/sound engine driver Larry Klein, wHO became a frequent collaborator on a great deal of her subsequent material, including 1985's synth-driven Dog Eat Dog, co-produced by Thomas Dolby. Mitchell's displace into electronics continued with 1988's Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm, featuring guests Peter Gabriel, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, and Billy Idol. Arthur Mitchell returned to her roots with 1991's Night Ride Home, a spare, stripped compendium spotlighting little more than her voice and acoustic guitar. Prior to recording 1994's Roily Indigo, she and Klein spaced, although he still co-produced the disk, which was her most acclaimed work in eld. In 1996, she compiled a geminate of anthologies, Hits and Misses, which self-contained her chart successes as well as underappreciated favorites. A newfangled studio record album, Taming the Tiger, followed in 1998. Both Sides Now, a accumulation of standards, followed in early 2000. Deuce age later, Mitchell resurfaced with the double-disc release Travelog. She announced in October 2002 that this would be her last album e'er, for she'd fully grown tired of the industry. She told W magazine that she intended to crawl in. She too claimed she would never sign some other corporate mark deal and in Rolling Stone blamed the transcription manufacture for being "a sink." By the time Travelog appeared a month afterward, Mitchell had simmered down and her plans to call off it quits had been axed. Numerous compilations and remasters appeared between 2002 and 2006, culminating in the button of the independent Shine in 2007. |

Dolly Parton, Backwoods Barbie
Forever a dichotomy in the real heartland of American country music, Dolly Rebecca Parton has balanced commercial savvy with self-deprecating grace, all underlined with a very real ability to make music. At the same time of course she looks like some cartoon creation never appearing in anything less than towering heels and an equally gravity defying hairdo. In the UK we love her unreservedly. Her career has been rejuvenated by the support of national institutions like Sir Terry Wogan, who became a one-man marketing tool on the release of her pure bluegrass albums several years ago. Meanwhile in the States (where bluegrass is bizarrely regarded as country's poor hick cousin) she's still more lauded for her mainstream career. Backwoods Barbie is very much aimed at that market.
Co-produced by her bandleader, Kent Wells, and featuring no less that nine self-penned tracks, this is the sound of an artist both returning to the middle of the road while looking back over her own status as a blonde with more to her than a body that owes more to science than nature. First single, Better Get To Livin' is a strident ode to the lessons that Parton's learned in a lifetime spent in an arena where men most definitely are men and women are expected to be grateful. It sets the tone for most of the album. Dolly wants us to know that she's back and she means business. As such the subject matter concerns the great country staples of heartbreak (I Will Forever Hate Roses, Made Of Stone) and defiance in the face of heartbreak (the bolshy Shinola). While the production remains relatively conservative it still contains a slight modernisation of that Nashville rock sound. But she doesn't wholly forsake her roots. The best track by a (country) mile here is the haunting Only Dreamin'. This wonderful Appalachian lament wouldn't sound out of place on Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' last album.
More surprising are others' songs attempted here. While Dolly's take on Smokey Robinson's Tracks Of My Tears is sweet and straightforward, the banjo led take on the Fine Young Cannibals' Drives Me Crazy is a little odd, even though it extends the tradition of leftfield cover versions begun with Stairway To Heaven on Halos And Horns.
Already doing the business in the charts in the US, this seems to have been a wise career move at this stage for Parton. Her British fans will lap it up as well. The only regret is that you know she's talented enough to rise above such ordinary fare.
