Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Formally extricated from the grubbiness of the music industry--her farewell speeches eluded to cesspools, no less--and now officially retired from songwriting, "Dreamland" is a valedictory glance back at Joni Mitchell's uniquely distinguished oeuvre featuring choice tracks selected by the lady herself. Received wisdom has it that Mitchell began as a folkie in the Sixties, turned to jazz in the mid-Seventies and that somewhere along the way her music became a stranger to the charts and incrementally impregnable to all but a diehard coterie of chin-stroking pseuds. While partially true, this basic premise is rumbled by the vexingly non-chronological track selection which highlights just how much Mitchell blurred boundaries ( "Carey" and "California" from 1971's Blue, for example) way before the chattering rock classes argued the toss over her categorisation. There's no "Woodstock" but the album's scansion ( the ethnic pairing of "Dreamland" and "The Jungle Line", the revolutionary finale of Travelogue's "Both Sides Now" and the original "The Circle Game") works perfectly. Polished peaches abound; "Come In From The Cold", addressing post-war socio-sexial etiquette and female emancipation, is enduringly marvellous and there's only one measly rotten apple, namely "Dancin' Clown"'s sweaty, Eighties-rock overexertion with a grunting Billy Idol. --Kevin Maidment
