“Joni succeeded in music. He has a house and car and wants to have fun and see the world, “James Taylor said when reflecting on the inside period Joni Mitchelllife while he is writing Blue“After one or two years of traveling in Europe with his portable Dulcimer, he returned with many songs and ideas. We moved in the same circle and ended together. “
Taylor is close to Mitchell and sees his creative process. He was not flamboyant with his writing, he only took himself to a quiet place where he could issue melodies and pens lyrics, but only this was what he needed when he had to compile some of the most famous songs.
Blue is him The most famous album. It has a deep and deep beauty buried in it. While Mitchell may not use all the bells and whistles available to him in the recording, the simplicity of the music is what makes it so beautiful. When he sings, there is a connection and vulnerability in his voice, and it is very resonant Blue still considered a classic decade later.
“It is a calm, peaceful, extraordinary, creative time,” Taylor said. “He stopped smoking, and his voice was very good. He was at the peak of his strength. It feels natural and easy for me to play on the album. There are very few people in the session. BlueThe brilliance lies in his minimalist. It thrives in his voice, melody, and his personality. That’s pure Joni. ”
Saying its beauty lies in his minimalist is a fair assessment of what makes Mitchell’s music stand out. He is one of the best guitar players who have ever taken six strings, but while many people show their talents by maximizing the amount they can play, Mitchell can collect the guitar parts that are constantly asked and filled with rhythm.
“When I played the guitar, I heard it as an orchestra,” he said. “The top three strings are part of the horn, the bottom three are Cello, Viola, and Bass – bass that are indicated but not rooted.”
He is often dubbed as a musician who only writes sad music, and that applies to many songs. Property caregivers once said he should try to write a happy song, and they believe the best way to do this is to make it during the day. “He said, ‘You are a cheerful person, Joni. But you write all these melancholy songs. I think it’s because you write it at night. Why don’t you try writing songs during the day? ‘”He recalled.
He is able to write happy songs and often do it. There are a number of examples, but one is the track that James Taylor said reminded him of the house. Written when he was traveling, the song ‘California’ was one that stands out of the famous album Blue.
“CaliforniaWhat he wrote in Paris was a song that came to the house, “he said convincingly. “After traveling, your home has a different context in the world, and California captures it. This is fun, personal and original. “
