None of those hints prepared fans for this sudden, expansive shift towards a much larger canvas--a sleeker, orchestrated pop style pulsating with jazz elements. Court \u0026amp; Spark found Mitchell casting aside her earth mother assignments and revealing herself as the thoroughly modern, thoroughly complicated woman she is; the songs sustained familiar concerns with relationships but replaced courtly settings and naturalistic imagery with recognisably modern locales. Deeply romantic, constantly questioning, classic tracks like the title song, \"Help Me\", \"Free Man in Paris\", \"Same Situation\" and \"Raised on Robbery\" display a more liberated Mitchell, ready to rumble with unbridled electric guitars (guest Robbie Robertson on \"...Robbery\"), even willing to poke fun at her own oh-so-sensitive rep with a hip cover of Annie Ross's hilarious \"Twisted\". --Sam Sutherland\n \nProduct Description\n\n Joni Mitchell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075596059329\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075596059329\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2013411\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43989265809667,"sku":"Y5-PZ5R-U0PW","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/31hDQJmM0OL.jpg?v=1685927432","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/court-and-spark","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
