So, I finally got to hear T'log... very mixed reactions on the first listen.
Sometimes I felt it was a Big Band/Jazz rehash of her songs, but as the arrangement's progressed, the feel was more comfortable. Tears ran during Amelia. Just Like This Train was like visiting an old friend. The Hejira pieces were very nice. I was surprised at Flat Tires- I actually liked it! The song that hung with me after the first run was the Dawntreader- haunting, darkly beautiful and evocative... It's going to take many more listenings to fully appreciate this chapter in the life of one Ms. Joni Mitchell... Steve Steve
