Extremely well done. Captures the frankness of Mitchell’s lyrics and songs with a distinctive edge and facility of her own. A terrific match of singer and Song Book. Molaskey respects the lyrics, as usual, and understands the irony, wit, or pain under the melodies in the lyrics. This also represents a big step for Ms. Molaskey away from pop/theatre songs to contemporary “art” songs from the troubadours, such as Carole King, being honored these days. The shifting rhythm, keys, language of Joni Mitchell’s songs are forthright and this set delivers the integrity it deserves. ~Addisson DeWitt
Portraits Of Joni
I like some songs, but I think some others sounds too much like the original recordings by Joni Mitchell.
