THE JONI MITCHELL PROJECT
Sally Barker presents a captivating evening of Joni Mitchell's poignant early songs in a show dedicated to one of the truly great singer/songwriters. No mean songwriter herself, Sally has cherished a yearning to present an evening of Jon's songs since she was asked to perform "Coyote" in a tribute version of Martin Scorsese's film "The Last Waltz".
The timbre and phrasing of Sally's voice bear an uncanny resemblance to that of the cool Canadian from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and the naive yearnings of a girl in her early tweties is supplemented by the perspective of experience and wisdom.
Sally (a member of the all-women folk band "The Poozies") is joined by Glenn Hughes on piano and dulcimer and Debbie Cassell on bajo and backing vocals. From the Satie-esque setting of "Blue" to the rockin' rumpus of "Raised On Robbery", these musicians take you on a dynamic journey through the heart and mind.
