Music reviews of Hejira
Music Review: Singing to the choir
Rating: 5 Stars
Well- as if Joni needs another positive review! I can't help myself. I'm a classical musician with eclectic tastes, and this may well be one of the top three albums I've heard by anyone, in any genre, in my lifetime! The unbroken honesty, sincerity, melody, poetry, musicianship (Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass), the songs, the voice, it's all perfect. And, if you want to understand what it might be like to be a woman, you need to listen to this album. The great thing about Joni is, on most albums, she's innocent and unaware of how great her stuff is! And that's the necessary ingredient to a truly transcendental offering, in any art form. Just be yourself. The love will come! And it has.

After the expanded instrumental scale and sonic experimentation of Court & Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Joni Mitchell reverses that flow for the more intimate, interior music on Hejira, which retracts the arranging style to focus on Mitchell's distinctive acoustic guitar and piano, and the brilliant, lyrical bass fantasias of fretless bass innovator Jaco Pastorius. Known for his furious, sometimes rococo figures beneath the music of Weather Report, Pastorius is tamed by Mitchell's cooler, more deliberate ballads: these meditations coax a far gentler, subdued lyricism from Pastorius, whose intricate bass counterpoints Mitchell's coolly elegant singing, especially on the sublime "Amelia," which transforms the mystery of Amelia Earheart into a parable of both feminism and romantic self-discovery. This isn't Mitchell at her most obviously ambitious, yet the depth of feeling, poetic reach, and musical confidence make this among the finest works in a very fine canon. --Sam Sutherland
