Music reviews of For the Roses
Music Review: best LP, Cassette, or CD ever!
Rating: 5 Stars
I heard this as a cassette in the summer of 1976 while on a 2 1/2 month canoe trip thru Northern Minnesota--fell in love with the music first, then the lyrics...went out & found the LP..played it to pieces and just recently replaced my CD as a b-day gift for myself. Joni Mitchell has soul and wisdom and passion in every strum and plunk of the guitar....ever song tells a story!
Description of For the Roses
Sandwiched between the solitary, heart-on-her-sleeve confessions of Blue and the ravishing pop of Court and Spark, 1972's For the Roses captures Joni Mitchell in a deceptively subdued period of transition. Still hewing to a spare sound, Mitchell ventures beyond the elegant folk sources of earlier records to explore her love of blues and jazz-based harmony, writing as much on piano as guitar; thematically, the earnest reveries and heartbroken dirges of before give way to a more detached, even journalistic perspective and darker, grittier settings, most strikingly on "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire." "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" was the set's nominal hit, yet in hindsight the keepers here are found in evolutionary pieces like the jazz-tinged "Barangrill," the rock-infused "Blonde in the Bleachers," and in more sober meditations like "Woman of Heart and Mind"--testaments to her restless growth and signposts to the more mature music ahead. --Sam SutherlandCountry CDs
