Description
Joni Mitchell – For The Roses (CD, Asylum Records, Germany Pressing) CD
For The Roses (1972) captures Joni Mitchell at a pivotal moment — stepping beyond her folk roots and moving toward the more sophisticated, jazz‑inflected songwriting that would define her mid‑70s work. This album bridges the intimacy of Blue with the adventurous spirit of Court and Spark, offering some of her most poetic and emotionally incisive writing.
This German‑manufactured CD edition preserves the original analog warmth (AAD mastering) and includes the full 12‑track sequence, featuring standout songs like “You Turn Me On I’m A Radio”, “Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire”, and the title track “For The Roses.”
The artwork includes the iconic forest‑side portrait on the front, floral illustration on the back, and full Asylum Records production details.
