<< (don't think
there's an album, Bob!) >>
Still, Hell, if you're so bored, let's get out there and hit those record
stores! There might be some surprises! :~)
Thanks for sharing all those 'influence' pieces...it is amazing how many
artists have been influenced by Joni. I'll share a tidbit I read tonight in
the same vein...
I got this great book from Alison & Jeff in NY called "Rock - The Rough
Guide" (Kakki had given me their top 100 book at Ashara's, and I polished it
off on the trip home) THIS one is about 1200 pages long and features
virtually every rock artist that ever recorded! It's heavenly for us sluts!
Thanks Jeff and Alison!!
Anyway, here's what they say about Tori Amos' "Little Earthquakes":
"It was compared, inevitably, with Kate Bush; however, its originality and
strength, both in lyrics and melodies, and the complexity of its piano
playing and orchestration, suggested far more than a Kate Bush clone; indeed
a talent that stood in line with the likes of Joni Mitchell"
Of course they have a very lengthy piece on Joni, which I'll transcribe over
the holidays when I get bored, or maybe next week at work while I'm bored! :~)
