 (3 Customer Reviews)
Mitchell's '80s work is often written off as too slickly produced, but that's too easy a generalization. There's a level of sophistication at work on this album that transcends any qualms about studio gloss. Ever the explorer, Mitchell never stopped exploring new sonic vistas, and here she ups the ante, utilizing '80s studio technology to create an ambient edge that suits her impressionistic lyrical and harmonic sensibilities. Sure, co-producer Larry Klein leans toward the smoother side of things when it comes to keyboard and backing vocal sounds, but that doesn't distort the painterly beauty of Mitchell's compositions. Synth pioneer Thomas Dolby is on hand to provide some inventive soundscapes, and the presence of Don Henley is countered by the vocal appearance of Tom Petty and Billy Idol on "Dancin' Clown."
Personnel: Joni Mitchell (vocals, guitar, keyboards, programming); Peter Gabriel, Billy Idol, Tom Petty, Iron Eyes Cody, Don Henley, Willie Nelson (vocals); Michael Landau (guitar, background vocals); Steve Stevens (guitar); Wayne Shorter (saxophone); Larry Klein (keyboards, bass, congas, programming, background vocals); Steven Lindsey (organ); Thomas Dolby (marimba); Manu Katche (drums, percussion, background vocals); Benjamin Orr, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Julie Last (background vocals).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Beautiful Album
I rate this album as one of Joni's best and certainly her best album during the 80's. I was on a trip through the American Southwest at the time of it's realease and somehow it really lifted my imagination. The haunting angry lyrics of Lakota really suited the beautiful awe-inspiring landscape. The duets with Willie Nelson and Peter Gabriel are truly gorgeous. Thank you Joni.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Joni Mitchell hits my secret place!
With nary a weak song on this album, Joni Mitchell really fills the room with sound on this album.
Cool Water runs deep with vocals from Willie Nelson. It sounds like a river running through the living room.
Of all her albums, this is the one I like best.

Randy Weston revisits a number of his earlier works with his African Rhythms Trio, though this session is no mere rehashing of old favorites. With bassist Alex Blake and African hand percussionist Neil Clarke, Weston hardly sounds like a man nearing his 80th birthday, as his playing is still very distinctive and full of marvelous dark chords and infectious rhythms. The CD opens ...
