Joni Mitchell: Mingus

Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 30 June 1979

IF INTENTION automatically equalled success then this would be one hell of an album. As it is, it's beautifully recorded, self-consciously precious, a maddeningly white attempt at blackness. Wolves howl and worlds sprawl in these "audio-paintings."
