Court and Spark was my first Joni Mitchell album I ever bought and with Blue and Clouds are some of my favourite folk albums of all time. Joni draws on some good musical friends to help her do some Courting including David Crosby, Graham Nash, Joe Sample, Cheech and Chong , Larry Calton, Jose Felicano and Robbie Robertson.
Court is an album full of Mitchell's unique musical poetry with harmony in both her vocals, lyrics and music. Her music is a bit of an acquired taste i will admit but you gotta just love Joni!Her music is super expressive and full of deep conviction and meaning. Musically these songs are well crafted and edge on progressive styling at times.
