Rating:  - A Failed Experiment
AS a avid Joni Mitchell fan I always looked forward to every album she released. For me, the lady could do no wrong. After all, she created such masterworks as, " Blue" and "Court & Spark". But, this album left me confused and cold. There was no passion, only failed musical experiments. The songs go nowhere. Their messages are unclear and esoteric. Joni was, I suppose, trying to expand her muse, but in the process created a artistic mess. The title cut is the only saving grace on this double ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting gem
I am a huge Joni Mitchell fan. I have a number of her CDs including Court and Spark, Heijera, Ladies of the Canyon, Night Ride Home and Hissing of Summer Lawns. I have also avoided several of her CDs based on indifferent and bad reviews including Mingus and much of her music from the 1980's. I've stopped listening to her recent musical output given that I'm not a fan of her husky voice these days. However, I had never heard of Don Juan's Reckless Daugher (DJRD) until I was recently browsing through ... Read More
Rating: - Madness!
I love this album. Joni Mitchell seems to have followed her instincts into some strange, dark, obsessive place and I am, sometimes, willing to follow her there. Yes, this album can be hard to digest, but there are times when the title track is stuck in my head and only a sledgehammer could dislodge it. I think Joni Mitchell would be a difficult but fascinating friend. For the record, we are not friends. I am difficult, too, but less talented.
Rating: - Awesome
I have never heard joni before this... well, i know she is usually singing slow songs where the focus is all on her voice... but i decided to try this album out and really like it alot... the music is very interesting and the melodies and words are quite good. i listen to it with astral weeks, blonde on blonde, grace, and sketches of spain... it holds up to that company very well!
Rating:  - Happy Recklessness
Once I heard that this album featured performances from people like Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Larry Carlton, Alex Acuña (called Alejandro here), Don Alias and Chaka Khan, I just knew I had to have it. Mitchell was reportedly coming to the end of her contract with Asylum records when she made the record and figured she could be as experimental and loose as she pleased. She didn't hold back and the album mainly deals with themes of recklessness, destructive relationships, alcoholism and despair. ... Read More
