AJOBO: Win Joni Mitchell’s New Box Set ‘Love Has Many Faces’
Your regularly scheduled AJOBO has been hijacked by the holiday spirit (or something like that). That’s right — every week in December, we’ll feature an amazing, exclusive giveawayfor prizes that’ll satisfy every music fan on your list (or yourself — we won’t tell!). To enter, simply scroll to the bottom of this entry and follow the directions to win. Plus, as a bonus you’ll get your weekly REBEAT menu. We wouldn’t cheat you out of that, would we?
This week’s prize features one of the most iconic singer/songwriters of all time. Her words have accompanied all the major moments of our lives, and her wisdom and grace have inspired not only generations of other musicians and artists, but also her fellow peers. Now, Joni Mitchell has, herself, curated this unprecedented box set of over 50 newly remastered tracks spanning her 40-plus-year career.
Her concept was simple, yet challenging: crafting a musical ballet in four acts (over four discs, naturally) using her catalog. “I am a painter who writes songs,” says Mitchell. “My songs are very visual. The words create scenes. What I have done here is to gather some of these scenes (like a documentary filmmaker) and by juxtaposition, edit them into a whole new work.”
Love Has Many Faces, out now from Rhino Records, includes a package designed by Mitchell herself, including six of her new paintings and autobiographical liner notes detailing her recording process.
