Joni Archives 3

"The sound of this thing was like, 'We're breaking some new ground here.'" Earlier this year, musician-arranger-bandleader Tom Scott of the L.A. Express reminisced to the U.K.'s MOJO magazine about working with Joni Mitchell on her 1972 album For the Roses. Indeed, Scott realized early on that the merging of folk and jazz sensibilities was about to take the singer-songwriter's music to the next level. Mitchell's creatively groundbreaking 1972-1975 albums - For the Roses, Court and Spark (1974),

Stephen Stills Live in Berkeley 1971

On June 30, 1971, Stephen Stills released his second solo album.  The simply-titled Stephen Stills 2 peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Top LPs chart and yielded two singles ("Change Partners" and "Marianne") which peaked just outside of the top 40 on the Hot 100.  Stills set off on his first solo tour in support of the album and brought along The Memphis Horns, the brass section which had played on the LP.  Today, Omnivore Recordings and Iconic Artists Group have announced the April 28

David Crosby Oh Yes I Can

And it appears to be a long time, such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn... Few songs have captured the zeitgeist of the times as well as David Crosby's "Long Time Gone."  First aired on Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut, the ballad expressed the malaise, the anger, the disappointment, and the turbulence of the late 1960s with thunderous bass, furious guitar, and cascading harmonies.  "Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness/You got to speak your mind, if you

David Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name

The phenomenal success of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's 1971 LP Déjà Vu came at a time when all four members of the supergroup were brimming with musical creativity.  In the wake of its release, each released a solo album that's since attained classic status.  In February 1971 came David Crosby's solo debut, If I Could Only Remember My Name.  Crosby's dreamy, impressionistic, darkly beautiful, and decidedly unconventional masterwork is now receiving a deluxe edition from Rhino due on October

JoniMitchell TheRepriseAlbums Cover min

Joni Mitchell fiercely announced her independence with "I Had a King," the haunting soliloquy which opens her 1968 debut album, Song to a Seagull.  "I can't go back there anymore," she proclaimed.  "You know my keys won't fit the door/You know my thoughts don't fit the man.  They never can...they never can..."  The song is bold, wise, and flecked with a graceful equanimity as the singer declares her freedom both from a husband who "lives in another time" and the societal constraints of the day.

CSNY Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut was one of the most auspicious and omnipresent records of 1969, a remarkable and harmony-rich affair featuring such era-defining material as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere," "Wooden Ships," "Long Time Gone," and "Helplessly Hoping."  CSN blended folk, country, jazz, rock, and a dash of pop into an often-imitated but never-duplicated sound.  In the U.S. alone, the album reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and the top
