Hey Ken -- These were in the liner notes of the advance CD only (which did not contain the artwork). Here's the text:
"Our goal in recording this collection of Joni's songs in an orchestral context is not to create a "Greatest Hits with Orchestra" type of record. I feel that the songs which we selected, a broad cross-section of Joni's work from her prescient early songs all the way through recent writing, have acquired a new power, timelessness, and poignancy in her singing them in the voice of a woman who has lived a lot of life. In reapproaching these songs, we have tried to maintain the same challenging spirit of adventure that has always been an important part of her music. My optimism is that in recontextualizing her songs into an orchestral environment, the timelessness, pathos, humor, and the extraordinarily high standard which she has written throughout her body of work, will become apparent to a new audience. It is inevitable that some avid students of her records may prefer to hear the versions of the songs that they grew up with or that became a part of the fabric of their lives. To them, along with everybody else in our accelerated world who comes upon this record, I would say: take the time to let these versions of Joni's songs slowly wash over you. I don't think that you will be sorry. -- Larry Klein" Best, David on 11/24/02 9:59 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 11/24/2002 7:54:36 AM Eastern Standard Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > >> As her former >> husband and constant collaborator Larry Klein explains in a >> sleeve note, this is "not a 'Greatest Hits with Orchestra' type >> of record". >> > WERE THESE LINER NOTES WRITTEN IN INVISIBLE INK?
