Introducing… Valerie June

March 5, 2013 by Loft965.com

If Valerie June had been a roots artist in America 80 years ago, and she often sings as if she was, she might have been a principle influence on today’s myriad retro troubadours, hers a stunningly emotive amalgamation of blues, folk, gospel, soul, Appalachian and bluegrass (including irresistible banjo). She exists, however, today, an artist as modern as an iPod Shuffle, a musician for the generation which carries the entire history of recorded music so casually inside its phone. Like […]

Mariah Carey’s new single is titled “Hope Street”

January 21, 2013 by Loft965.com

Just when we posted about the details of Mariah Carey’s new album, the title of the first track surfaces. The new single is called “Hope Street.” It’s supposed to be a scorching ballad with, get this, Joni Mitchell tones. We don’t know what this means, but it all good to us. Let’s hope the single is so big it will bring back balladry to the top of the charts.

Legendary: “Summertime” by Janis Joplin

December 4, 2012 by Loft965.com

When it comes to hippie times we usually stick to Joni Mitchell, Dory Pervin and Linda Perhacs. But, the other day we stumbled upon a gem of an interview with Janis Joplin and we just loved here mojo, which prompted us to  research her discography and download many tracks. This is one of the ones we love. This is the start of a new love affair.

Kate Earl to release new album titled “Stronger”

November 13, 2012 by Loft965.com

Alaska born singer-songwriter Kate Earl will release her new full-length album Stronger on Nov. 19th via Downtown Records. With influences like legendary female vocalists Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell, the sound is a rootsy brand of all-American pop-rock with updated indie vibes from co-writers and producers Brett Dennen and former Dawes member Blake Mills.

Legendary: “Cactus Tree” by Joni Mitchell

November 11, 2012 by Loft965.com

Another Joni Mitchell track makes the legendary list. We just can’t get enough of her and we wish we had discovered her oeuvre earlier. This is a little on the lighter side of things and a quintessential Joni song: folk strumming, a story to tell and a human voice. Lovely.

Rolling Stone magazine’s embarrassing “Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time”

June 24, 2012 by Loft965.com

Rolling Stone has gone further into proving its masculine rock-loving stereotype of a rag while compiling the greatest albums by female artists. The chart has notched up only 50 of the “greatest albums,” probably because they couldn’t come up with 100.  They have compiled the ordinary chart toppers like the legendary Joni Mitchell’s Blue and the newly-reigning 21 by Adele. But, get this: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Chaka Khan, Toni Braxton, Amy Winehouse, Sade, Erykah Badu, Natalie […]

Introducing… Ren Harvieu

March 24, 2012 by Loft965.com

Meet a Lancashire girl whose voice and sound will stop you dead in your tracks. Her name is Ren Harvieu. Her hair is heavy and shaggy, her eyes lined with kohl, her manner as down-to-earth as the streets of Broughton in Salford, which is where she was born, just over twenty-one years ago. Schooled in dusty youth club contests rather than star-spangled pop schools, she has had quite a life already; she’s also had quite a year. A terrifying accident […]

First Listen: “Love What Happened Here” by James Blake

October 21, 2011 by Loft965.com

We stumbled upon this track on Twitter and we fell in love with it. In true James Blake fashion, simplicity is key. Beautiful blips and blops all around and a great vocal background. This is not on the debut album, but it should be on his next. If anyone finds a version without the radio clutter on it, send it our way. Click below to listen to it.

Legendary: “Chelsea Morning” by Joni Mitchell

July 18, 2011 by Loft965.com

Sometimes when all new music fails you, old tunes will revive that dying sombre ghost inside each and every one of us. This is one of Joni Mitchell’s classics. This is a particularly beautiful live performance done for the BBC.

Joni Mitchell wraps her arms around her dad William Anderson just before he blows the candles out on his 100th birthday cake, July 14 at the Bessborough Hotel

Joni Mitchell celebrates her dad’s 100th birthday!

July 17, 2011 by Loft965.com

We usually don’t cover this sort of stuff, but since we are humongous fans of the reclusive Joni Mitchell, we decided to give it a go. The queen songwriter, Joni Mitchell, visited her home country of Canada to celebrate her father’s 100th birthday. How lovely. She looks so fresh.  Click here for the source.

Legendary: “A Case Of You” by Joni Mitchell

December 29, 2010 by Loft965.com

So, we have gotten our mittened hands on a bunch of Joni Mitchell albums that we hadn’t heard completely and we spent a whole 24 hours reading up on her, watching her interviews and listening to her sweet sweet voice. You know we like our music with a little social commentary. And, we are glad we back-catalogued Joni Mitchell, she is a fine singer-songwriter and this song from her epic album Blue showcases that.
