Product Details

The years captured here trace Mitchell at the creative apex of a run that few songwriters ever approach, moving from the folk introspection of *For the Roses* through the jazz-inflected pop sophistication of *Court and Spark* and into the restless experimentation of *The Hissing of Summer Lawns*. Hearing that evolution unfold across demos and alternate takes reveals just how deliberately, and how boldly, she was reshaping what a singer-songwriter could do.

CONTINUE THE JOURNEY THROUGH JONI'S PREVIOUSLY UNMINED ARCHIVES. THIS SET IS AN INTIMATE AND REVELATORY SPOTLIGHT ON JONI'S PROLIFIC PEAK FROM 1972-1975, WHICH INCLUDED HER MOST COMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL ALBUM, COURT AND SPARK, AND SINGLE "HELP ME."

~

The Set Includes Sessions with Graham Nash, James Taylor, Neil Young and the Santa Monica Flyers, & Tom Scott and the L.A. Express Never-Before-Heard Demos, Early and Alternate Versions of Classic Songs, and Historical Performances. Plus A Gorgeous 40-Page Photo Book and Liners
