馃幐 Joni Mitchell - Hejira (1976)




Pochette de l'album

馃嚭馃嚫 Biographie (English)
This is the 8th album of Joni Mitchell and she still manages to surprise us with a coherent disc that oscillates between blues / rock, folk and jazz.
Here, the songs are long and Joni takes his time to paint a succession of paintings through rich and poetic lyrics. His voice has matured, we hear him. And through this "journey" (hejira meaning trip in Arabic), we understand better what Rousseau meant when he wrote "to say and to sing was formerly the same thing" ...
The bass of Jaco Pastorius gives all the original and warm atmosphere of this record. Neil Young even plays the harmonica on the very melodic 'Furry sings the blues'. The whole bathing in a certain languor, the songs do not miss however pace as shows the excellent 'song for sharon'. And what about the very sensual and jazzy 'Blue motel room': beautiful!


馃嚭馃嚫 Biographie (Fran莽ais)
C'est le 8猫me album de Joni Mitchell et elle arrive encore 脿 nous surprendre avec un disque coh茅rent qui oscille entre blues/rock, folk et jazz.
Ici, les chansons sont longues et Joni prend son temps pour peindre une succession de tableaux 脿 travers des paroles riches et po茅tiques. Sa voix a muri, on l'entend. Et 脿 travers ce "voyage" (hejira signifiant voyage en arabe), on comprend mieux ce que Rousseau voulait dire quand il 茅crivait "dire et chanter 茅tait autrefois la m锚me chose"...
La basse de Jaco Pastorius conf猫re toute l'atmosph猫re originale et chaleureuse propre 脿 ce disque. Neil Young intervient m锚me 脿 l'harmonica sur le tr猫s m茅lodique 'Furry sings the blues'. Le tout baignant dans une certaine langueur, les chansons ne manquent pourtant pas de rythme comme le montre l'excellente 'song for sharon'. Et que dire du tr猫s sensuel et jazzy 'Blue motel room' : magnifique!
