Episode description
Our second entry in The 1974 Project focuses on Court and Spark, Joni Mitchell's sixth studio album. UCR's Allison Rapp once again joins Jeff and Matt to discuss a number of topics related to the album. We talk about the impact that Court and Spark had on Joni's career -- and why it stands out when compared to the rest of her discography. How challenging is it to navigate Joni's overall body of work? How was it received by some of her peers, then and now?
Allison also shares her experience seeing Joni's live performance at the Gorge ("near" Seattle) in 2023 -- and her own origin story with Joni's music.
P.S. -- here's some more information on the Gorge documentary that's mentioned during this episode.
