>>My point is that at this time in the music world, Joni's new release generates little to no excitement. Whether it's bad marketing or weak product, I'll not say. Much of our demographic (Boomers in their 40's & 50's) has given up on new music, even new releases from their favorite artists of yesteryear.<<
well here is my own blasphemous opinion as to my personal lukewarm anticipation of this new release (not that it might not be incredible, it could be)...which is due to the fact that no new songs are on it...to me, joni's #1 strength is as a songwriter... if joni mitchell was coming out with a cd of all new original songs, do you think there would be a gigantic buzz going? i do... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
