    Outstanding album! I literally listen to it every night... several times a night. I wake up when it goes off and I restart it again. No lie, no exaggeration. A masterpiece! So elegant and every note is so thoughtful and experienced. This should be required listening at colleges.

      It blew my mind when I first heard it: like you, I had it on repeat for months.

      Thanks for posting this. I've been a Joni fan for over 45 years but I was not aware of this record...this project until I stumbled upon it the other day..I wasn't sure if it was any good...if it was resonating with listeners.

    I love how these musicians connect with these songs, as if they are interpreting from a sacred book. Joni Mitchell's book, which is treated so reverently. The interlude with "Both Sides Now" completely slays. (6:32)

    what an amazing project. Music for all seasons, every song a masterclass. Herbie's piano style always takes me to different spheres.

    Oh man, Joni’s poetry… it saturates everything: her lyrics, her voice, her music, her paintings…
    This is a wonderful project, absolutely adore everything about it!
    Thank You 🙏

    What an absolute TREAT to find this documentary. Wayne's statement that "1 IS the groove..." knocked me over! These soulful musicians did a masterful job of painting the emotional hues all up in the lyrics. Thank you SO MUCH! Thank you for your dedication bringing value to the people.

    Two things -
    1. I wish there was some footage of Tina Turner singing Edith and the Kingpin.
    2. I'd love some confirmation that Prince played the guitar part on that same track.
    Incredible track and album.

      @@jeffreysmith5975 I don’t remember where I have it from, I guess some interview. Mrs Turner said she felt uncomfortable with those jazz giants standing around while she sang the song, let alone cameras. Therefore they let her sing with just the engineer at the knobs.

    Why have I never heard of this recording. I have to buy it! Tina is so perfect for Edith And The King Pin. I dare say that I prefer it even over Joni's version.

    PLEASE help me find the video, or audio clip of Herbie, where he is talking about what Court and Spark actually is about. (the song itself, not the album necessarily). I had only heard it in audio form, and cannot find it. (it wasn't on youtube that i heard it, it was some other website). -- We can assume what it's about, from reading the lyrics to Court and Spark, but Herbie simplified it with facts (probably from Joni's own mouth).

      Yes it did, even beating out Amy Winehouse back to black. Guess the voters prefer it to back to black.
