1971年,当她开创性的专辑《Blue》在全球取得商业方面和评论方面的非凡成功时,Joni Mitchell为圣诞节送什么礼物给朋友而绞尽脑汁。
结果就有了一本手工制作的书,只制作了一百本,里面充满了乔尼的手写歌词以及她许多令人惊叹的绘画作品的复制品,包括肖像画,抽象画,音乐厅的常客等等。
她给了每个朋友一本,并且直到现在,该版本仍然是私有的。如今,通过《葡萄藤上的牵牛花》,乔尼(Joni)很久以前的私人圣诞节礼物被展现在我们所有人面前。
In 1971, as her groundbreaking album Blue emerged as a singular commercial and critical success around the world, Joni Mitchell puzzled over what gift to give her friends that Christmas.
The result was a handmade book, with only one hundred copies produced, filled with Joni’s hand-written lyrics and reproductions of many of her stunning drawings — portraits, abstracts, random concertgoers, and more.
Each was given to a friend and, until now, the edition has remained private. Today, with Morning Glory on the Vine, Joni’s long-ago personal Christmas present is a present to us all.
