And I said: "Constantly in the darkness - Where 5 that at? Ifyou want me I'll be in the bar. " - "A Case of You," 1971 Joni Mitchell has always been difficult to categorize. A folksinger, a poet, a wife, a Canadian, a mother, a party girl, a rock star, a hermit, a jazz singer, a hippie, a painter: any or all of these descriptions could apply at any given time. Moreover, her musicianship, at once reminiscent of jazz, folk, blues, rock 'n' roll, even torch songs, has never lent itself to easy categorization. Through each successive stage of her career, her songwriting has grown ever more sincere and ever less predictable; she has, at every turn, re-figured her public persona, belied expectations, confounded those fans and critics who thought they knew who she was. And it has always been precisely here, between observers' expec- tations and her performance, that we find contested terrain. At stake in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the central concern for both the artist and her audience that "Joni Mitchell" was a stable identity which could be categorized, recognized, and understood. What came across as insta- bility to her fans and observers was born of Mitchell's view that the honest reflection of growth and transformation is the basic necessity of artistic expres- sion. As she explained in 1979: You have two options.

  • Unofficial-Archive-V
    [email protected] Version 3 for Thrasher’s Wheat 2 April 2018 FOREWORD This document attempts to provide as complete a catalogue as possible of songs written or performed by Neil Young which do not appear on his officially released material and media. “Official” in this case means released through an authorized record company. The catalogue will therefore include much material which has already been released on unofficial bootleg media or other non-commercial recordings. It also includes a listing of unreleased songs performed by Neil Young which were written by other artists and which may therefore have been released on their officially released media. As far as I know, it is the most comprehensive 0 listing of its kind, though the publication of further official Neil Young Archive material can at any time change its accuracy. Many entries here will presumably automatically become part of his “officially released material”, and I will try to update what will (hopefully!) become an ever shorter document as time goes on. I am making this information available in the public domain for Neil’s fans. It has always been intended for it to be a “community venture”, a kind of Neilopedia, and I invite everyone to join in with feedback, input, corrections, suggestions and of course new content. If for any reason you make use of it in publications of any kind, please do give me a credit, just as I have tried to give credit to those sources I have drawn upon. It is good for the ego! Please let me know if you know of any other sources which I can include or cooperate with in future.

  • OLLI CAL, 2020 Fall Online Syllabus Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-Title: "The Mount Olympus of American Pop-Rock Songwriters"
    OLLI CAL, 2020 fall online syllabus Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-title: "The Mount Olympus of American pop-rock songwriters" Course description : The essence of popular music is the song; whether it is folk, pop, rock, R&B, soul or country, the song is the core of the popular record. This course examines the lives and work of eight great songwriter/artists of the golden era of rock and roll. We will study the contributions of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, the team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Brian Wilson, the duo of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. Through the use of audio, video, stories and live in-class music, we will look at, listen to and break down the musical and lyrical components of songs by these composers, in order to better understand and appreciate the artistry, insight and social context these songwriters brought to popular music. Class description: The course will be broken up chronologically, focusing on one songwriter each week. Each session will include: --A thorough, background lecture about each composer, including the musical style most associated with them and stories, sometimes primary source. --A slide show with photographs, charts, maps and information on each composer. --In depth analysis of select lyrics from songs by each songwriter --Audio CD versions of songs --select video clips culled from film documentaries of each songwriter and other artists who performed their songs --live musical, examples of chords, rhythms, instrumentation, styles, etc…played on piano, organ, synthesizer (strings, horns, bells) guitar, bass and vocals by instructor during class.
