Joni Mitchell CD: Songs of a Prairie Girl CD Release Date: April 26, 2005 Label: Wea/Rhino
CD Is Second Volume In Series of Retrospectives Curated by the Artist
"This collection of songs and photographs is my contribution to Saskatchewan's Centennial celebrations. I recommend that you get yourself a hot beverage and stand by the heater as you listen to these musical tales of long, cold winters with a hint of short but glorious summers."-Joni Mitchell
Los Angeles, California. In their continuing relationship with singer-songwriter-painter Joni Mitchell, Warner Strategic Marketing will release SONGS OF A PRAIRIE GIRL, a collection of 13 Joni Mitchell songs that reflect the Canadian province (Saskatchewan) from which she hails or were written during her stays there. SONGS OF A PRAIRIE GIRL is set for release April 26.
The collection SONGS OF A PRAIRIE GIRL is being released to coincide with the Centennial celebration of Saskatchewan taking place this May. SONGS OF A PRAIRIE GIRL is the second volume in a series of "curated" editions by Mitchell of her works in newly themed retrospectives which reflect the vast legacy and stages of her career. DREAMLAND, the first volume in the series, was released this past fall by Warner Strategic Marketing to widespread critical acclaim.
As with each volume in the series, Mitchell is working closely with the record label and is very hands-on in terms of track selection, sequencing, mastering and artwork. SONGS OF A PRAIRIE GIRL also contains the newly remastered track "Paprika Plains," originally recorded on Mitchell's seminal 1977 Don Juan's Reckless Daughter release.
Joni Mitchell's place of honor in music history is well earned. Her songs have soothed the masses for decades, and have inspired countless singer / songwriters through the years.
Her latest release, Songs of a Prairie Girl continues the story-telling tradition that I have come to love and expect from this music legend. Conjuring images of far away places, her voice is a comforting reminder of times past. Easing through melodic numbers like "Urge for Going" and the orchestral "Cherokee Louise", this disc's lowest point is "Ray's Dad's Cadillac", yet the gems "Let the WInd Carry Me" and one of my all-time favorites, "River" quickly make you forget that you didn't love every minute.
Many, many singers and songwriters have come along since Joni Mitchell. Yet few have left quite the legacy of music. Songs of a Prairie Girl is a gentle reminder of the power her music has on the masses.
