Joni Mitchell: "Blue " (Reprise MS 2038 )
We have waited a long time for this
album; since "Ladies of the Canyon" in
fact. "Blue," Joni Mitchell's newest
release is the end result of over a year of
absence from the musical scene. During
this period Joni made few personal
appearances and recorded only "Blue,"
spending her time resting and thinking as
she indicated in an interview with the
"Rolling Stone" last spring.
"Blue" is without a doubt one of the
most moving personalized records
released in a long time. The songs, all
personal, deal almost exclusively with
people and experiences in Jom's past life.
All express her sadness or lonliness due to
;j lost love or a mistake, yet she closes on
an optimistic note in "The Last Time I
Saw Richard" where Joni says:
"When you 6onna get yourself back on
your feet,

Oh and love can be so sweet, love so
sweet." Critics could say that she is
overly sentimental, but the lyrics are
written and sung so emotionally that the
listener cannot help but feel that he
knows and feels exactly what she is tryir.g
to say. "Blue" again shows Jom's
exceptional sor.g writing talents, and her
piano and voice cannot help but bring to
mind Lara Nyro.
Instrumental! the album is perfect.
All the songs are tight and move along
easily and smoothly. Joni plays guitar and
does some nice things on piano. Stephen
Sills and James Taylor, two of Jom's
more publicized romances, play guitar on
selected songs, and without a doubt
"Blue" contains songs written for them.
The album is beautiful and probably one
of the best of of the vear. Listen to
"Blue." There will be a son, for you.
Black Oak Arkansas: "Black Oak
Arkansas "(A ten SD 33-354 J
Occasionally a new group appears on
the music scene without the fanfare of
some groups, and it takes a while for the
good word to get around. The first
"Chicago" album is an example of this as
opposed to the first "Crosby, Stills, and
Nash" album. You can add "Black Oak
Arkansas" to that list of obscure albums.
Black Oak Arkansas needs no
super-hype, their music sells themselves.
The album consists largely of well
arranged and executed count ry
influenced rock 'n roll. The most
refreshing instrument on the album is the
voice of Jim Mangrum, which lies
somewhere in the ranch area. Mangrum's
voice is just plain raw and gruff.
The best cut on the album is "I Could
Love You," a funky six minute piece.
The guitar presents the rhythm and
invention throughout the piece. I
question the authenticity of "Lord Have
Mercy on My Soul," which starts with a
needless soliloquy about a vision of
walking through the "Halls of Krama."
The album ends with a fine instrumental
recorded in the studio to sound as though
it was recorded live called, "When
Electricity Came to Arkansas."
Black Oak Arkansas finds a
preoccupation with the devil and God,
referring to both lyrically throughout the
album. The group seemed completely
relaxed in the studio, causing the album
not to come out stiff or rigid but more of
a good time.
Go to your favorite record store and
ask them to paly Black Oak Arkansas'
ajbum. Listen to it once, that will. tell you
whether their music agrees with you. If it
does, see if you can get out of the store
without a copy.

several generations by adapting itself to
each with a protean vitality that is the
Western's strength. Indeed, the changing
approaches to cinema form and subject
could well be studied through the
changing forms of the Western over the
last forty years.
The Psychological Westerns of the '50s
(the neurotic cowboy) gave way to the
Violence of the '60s (the psychopathic
cowboy); we are now in the 0s and the
"typical" Western again reflects a new
sensibility. These days, "realism" is in.
Which brings us. in a round-about-way.
to "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." When
insight, intelligence and a modicum of
honesty are recruited to create a film
which relates, even tangentially, to the
real world, there is some cause for
rejoicing. Yet, in spite of what too many
filmmakers today would have us believe,
realism is more than a fou; ct word in
the mouth. There has got to be some
substance to a film and the profusion of
physical detail that cries out to be
noticed because it is "real."
This is the problem vuth "McCabe and
Mrs. Miller." Director Robert Altman
attempts to create a mood-an evocation
of a time and place (Pacific Northwest in
the 1890s) that resonates with the vitality
of the frontier past. The sense of life is
there; so is the physical detail. The
dialogue is handled skillfully and with
originality. The photography is
occasionally exquisite and always pretty
to look at. And the title characters are

Julie Christie.

The result is an interesting but
fashionably muddled melodrama. Plot
and sense of action become as irrelevant
to the characters as they are to a 197
audience. The title characters are poorly
defined, and motivated not internally,
but by the faddish wisdom of SO years
after-McCabe and Mrs. Miller are mere
presences in the film, myths of the "0s in
the trappings of !S90s realism.
The failure of these people to LIVL as
either myth or reality reflects the basic
failure of what might otherwise have been
a very interesting movie.
