Grammy winner Brandi Carlile will salute Joni Mitchell at Walt Disney Concert Hall on Monday by performing Mitchell's classic 'Blue' album in its entirety.
was getting to know British music industry veteran Catherine Shepherd, they hit a roadblock that looked like it might derail their budding romance: Joni Mitchell.
“And I was like ‘Well hear me out on this: I hate the lyric “I want to renew you. I want to shampoo you” [in the song ‘All I Want’]. I actually can’t forgive Joni for that lyric,” Carlile said. “I don’t like it. It’s so heterosexual. It’s really hard for me to really sink my teeth into that. She doesn’t sound very tough.
As Carlile tells it, she sneaked onto the bill through a side door: her band had been playing shows with, and supporting, Kristofferson, and he tapped them to perform with him at the tribute to Mitchell, his longtime friend who attended the concert."The love she had for everyone there was so evident,” Carlile said. “She’s so much more joyful and peaceful than I had even heard she was.”
Mitchell has rebounded remarkably from the brain aneurysm that hospitalized her in 2016, Carlile said, although she has been seen using a cane in recent public outings, having needed to re-learn how to walk. Mitchell also gave up the chain-smoking habit for which she was infamous and which progressively lowered her singing voice.
“She says she feels like more of a painter right now, though,” she said. “She’s just very serene, really peaceful. And not a sour word to say about anyone.”“I told my managers, and they were like, ‘Well, nobody’s going to make any money, but let’s do this.’ So they started looking at Carnegie Hall. Then I got,” she said, referring to her six nominations and three wins earlier this year stemming from her album “By the Way, I Forgive You” and the hit single “The Joke.
