Not Like We Love Our Freedom: Joni Mitchell’s Third “Archives” Revisits 1972-1975 Period

August 17, 2023 by Joe Marchese | 6 Comments

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), the live Miles of Aisles (1974), and The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975) –…
