Thank you for the visit and the links! Mitchell is a great example of how stereotypes can become self-fulfilling. She is to this day best known for her folk-y acoustic strumming and vocal noodling, but her best work (that I've heard, anyway) is her collaborations with other musicians from outside the folk-rock silo. I hope to get to these clips because I don't think I've heard most of them.
Re. Cover art: what a yummy article! The back story to Whipped Cream is that on the day of the shoot, the whipped cream melted in the heat and started getting gross, so she showered off and then they tried the shoot with shaving cream, which ended up working. The dollops on her head and hand were the only bits that were actually whipped cream.
This is so helpful as I tend to have trouble picking out the bass, and I always wondered about the walking bass sound I kept reading about.
Just read another post featuring Jaco Pastorius with Joni Mitchell, in case you didn't see it - https://substack.com/home/post/p-162758700?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Also that Herb Alpert album art! -- https://staciwilson.substack.com/p/the-girl-on-the-album-cover-when-e87
