What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

JONI MITCHELL "blue" cd, 1971

her fourth,
only one i own
purchased years ago for the simple reason it was ranked so high in the RS top albums of all time list...
i listened several times and i didnt like it initially...
listened again today and i still dont like it...
well actually, i like the lyrics and the melodies i just dont like Joni's vocals,
i find them irritating, must be the accent and the fact she just sounds so posh,
no 'posh' isnt the right word, im looking for 'pronunciation', she is just too 'how now brown cow'...
oh well, many people love her music, but....
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite (and one of only a handful that are ok IMO)





My old man
He's a singer in the park
He's a walker in the rain
He's a dancer in the dark
We don't need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my blues.


He's my sunshine in the morning
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby
We don't need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
My old man
Keeping away my blues.

But when he's gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed's too big
The frying pan's too wide.

Then he comes home
And he takes me in his loving arms
And he tells me all his troubles
And he tells me all my charms
We don't need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my blues
