by Phil Sutcliffe. Q Magazine. May 1988. Original article: click to enlarge. On the office wall, in elegantly lit monochrome and framed, Joni Mitchell's husband Larry Klein bends down fondly to bury his face in the hair at the nape of her neck and wraps his arms around her. Nestling against him, she in turn affectionately hugs a bright-eyed cat.
Joni and Larry traveled to Italy in October 1988 so that she could accept a songwriters award from the San Remo Song Festival. They performed a short set of live duets including "Night Ride Home," "Lakota," and a number from her middle period, "Hejira."
Mitchell continued experimenting with synthesizers, drum machines and sequencers for the recordings of her next album, 1988's Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm. She also collaborated with artists including Willie Nelson, Billy Idol, Wendy & Lisa, Tom Petty, Don Henley, Peter Gabriel, and Benjamin Orr of the Cars.
But for Mitchell, "Blue" was a triumph that took a stunning toll."I have, on occasion, sacrificed myself and my own emotional makeup," Mitchell told this writer in 1988, "singing, 'I'm selfish and I'm sad' [on 'River'], for instance. We all suffer for our loneliness, but at the time of 'Blue,' our pop stars never admired these things."
