Joni Mitchell – Clouds (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Clouds arrived the same year Woodstock elevated many of Mitchell's contemporaries, yet she chose not to attend the festival, channeling that moment into song instead. The self-portrait cover was no accident; Mitchell had trained as a visual artist, and that eye for detail carries through every lyric here, each song constructed with the precision of someone who thinks equally in images and melody.
JONI MITCHELL / CLOUDS - Featuring "Chelsea Morning," "The Fiddle and the Drum" and one of Joni Mitchell's best known songs "Both Sides, Now," the accomplished singer/songwriter's second album Clouds is certified gold and won the 1969 Grammy (her first of nine) for Best Folk Performance. Originally released in May of 1969, all ten tracks were written by Mitchell and the album features a self-portrait as it's artwork. Uncut wrote, "... it's hard to pinpoint one single quality that makes Clouds so impressive. It's content perfectly matches it's delivery, the delight of language employed with such precision ideally suited to music even more lively... It confirmed Mitchell not only as a writer of unusually versatile songs open to endless reinvention but as a performer of exquisite sensitivity able to shed light on our passions and doubts." 2021 remaster on vinyl LP. 180-Gram Vinyl. Newly Remastered by Bernie Grundman. Under the Supervision of Joni Mitchell.
