Turbulent Indigo Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars one of my best albums!
Once you listen to this album, you'll never regret buying it. The best Joni Mitchell songs here, for sure, following her woodstock years. (Very accessible too). She may get a bit sentimental or overly conscious, but I think that's what so beautiful about her music. Highlights: How do you stop? feat. seal backing vocals Sunny Sunday Sex Kills Magdalene Laundries

5 stars Same feel, different color
The music offered on this album shows the obscure side of Joni Mitchell. Her voice has changed, it gives this cd a dark edge. Turbulent Indigo marks the stunning return of her acoustic guitar to center stage, something that misses in her 80's work.

Joni Mitchell Night Ride Home CD (1991)

Turbulent Indigo

$7.85

Released around the time that Seattle's grunge movement was exploding in full-blown angst, NIGHT RIDE HOME boasts a lost carnival of characters that wander through, seeming especially poignant. In the '60s when another angry, lost generation reigned, Mitchell's painterly portraits reflected the troubled times. More than two decades later, her songs mirror the mood swings of an aging generation no more sure of their footsteps than they were in their youth. A quiet, restless album that evokes the electric stillness before a summer storm, NIGHT RIDE HOME looks back to Mitchell's jazzier '70s endeavors like COURT AND SPARK. Despite the album's softer turn, the fey warble of alto sax is not nearly as prominent (or intrusive) as on Mitchell's 1998 TAMING THE TIGER. "Come In From the Cold" is one of Mitchell's finest songs, a lilting memory play of adolescence, desire and mature revelation. The title track is a sultry ...

Joni Mitchell Mingus CD (1979)

Turbulent Indigo

$6.15

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. Joni Mitchell's most controversial album is the infamous MINGUS. A tribute to the legendary jazz bassist of the same name, this is an intriguing meeting of Joni's sultry, burnished vocals and some of the best modern jazz musicians, at the intersection of pop and jazz. Critics in both the rock and jazz worlds unjustly dismissed the record as an attempt by Mitchell to exploit Mingus or to needlessly elevate pop to a more sophisticated level. Mitchell's voice is well suited to the moody jazz melody of Mingus' "A Chair In The Sky." The melodic comments of the masterful Jaco Pastorius' fretless bass weave their way seductively through Joni's melancholy interpretation of "Sweet Sucker Dance." The high point of the album, however, is the funky "The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines" which benefits from Pastorius' gurgling bass groove and dynamic horn arrangement. The album finale is the beautiful ...

Joni Mitchell Don Juan's Reckless Daughter CD (1977)

Turbulent Indigo

$6.39

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. Canadian songstress Joni Mitchell never really considered herself a folkie. While adding jazz textures to her literate lyrics in the mid-'70s may have confused her fans and infuriated jazz purists, to her it was as natural as rain. On DON JUAN'S RECKLESS DAUGHTER, she collaborated with the cream of the '70s jazz crop including Wayne Shorter, Don Alias, Airto, Larry Carlton and a young bassist by the name of Jaco Pastorius. The sound on DON JUAN is lean, with a stripped-down band largely relying on bass and percussion to back up Mitchell's voice and acoustic guitar. Pastorius in particular proves himself an able and sensitive accompanist, flexing his considerable chops, but also laying low and letting his singular tone do all the work when necessary. Wayne Shorter's soprano sax blends perfectly with Mitchell, the stark, emotional sound complementing her frank vocal style. The percussion-only backing of "Dreamland" and the instrumental "The Tenth World" ...

Joni Mitchell Hejira CD (1976)

Turbulent Indigo

$6.19

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. Joni Mitchell draws freely on her heroes and influences, and in her turn inspires and informs the work of countless others; thus are the genes of our musical heritage passed on to new generations. The love of jazz glimpsed in COURT AND SPARK and THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS is wanton in HEJIRA. The arrangements are loose and the melodies seductively free-flowing. ...

Joni Mitchell Taming The Tiger CD (1998)

Turbulent Indigo

$5.95

Arguably Mitchell's best studio recording since MINGUS, TAMING THE TIGER picks up where TURBULENT INDIGO left off, but there's a notable progression, both musical and lyrical. The biggest reason may be Mitchell's grasping of the production reins. Gone are the slick excesses of bassist Larry Klein's production. TAMING THE TIGER achieves a unity of vision, a fact that also owes to the arrangements' focus on Mitchell's own guitar and synthesizer work. The recurrent sonic texture here is an almost Zawinul-esque tapestry of electronic sounds; silvery synth and guitar-synth form an attractive latticework over which Mitchell lays her jazzy, unpredictable vocal melodies. Though she's grown a bit crankier as she's gotten older, when she lambasts contemporary pop culture (the title track) and attacks Victorian mores ("Face Lift") she doesn't come off as curmudgeonly as she did ...
