@GreatRecordings I am a musician & I totally disagree!
-
@greatrecordings: I respectfully disagree- completely. Jaco is literally behaving like a violin, a backup singer, et cetera. This electric bass style has precedent in other beautiful songs by great composers, for example in the incredible musical theater ballads of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

@GreatRecordings the thing is, Joni WANTED Jaco to play like this to converse with her voice. this was all intentional. his bass acts like a voice also. yes, this style of playing wouldn't work in all songs but for Joni, it worked perfectly. his Bass wasn't just a back up, it was a voice. listen closer.

Bass player is famous and talented, but not playing FOR the song. He is playing ON the song. And too much, stepping on the vocals. He is overplaying. If you disagree, you are probably not a musician.

One of the greatest songs ever. Amazing singing by Joni, with great lyrics (so is the whole record). Her voice is better than ever here, and of course Jacos spectacular and beautiful basslines helps out.
If you just want one Joni Mitchell record in your collection - please dont buy the "Best Of", buy Hejira instead! I promise you will be pleased. It's been one of my absolute favouríte records for very long now..

Hejira is where Joni really nails it. Abandoning verse-chorus slavery, the combo of her voice, her meandering washes of stunning poetry, her guitar + Jaco.P's bass coil round one another like serpents. The result's a unique musical language. Like nothing before or since.
