Court And Spark is Joni Mitchell's sixth studio album and the commercial high point of her career, a graceful blend of folk, pop, and jazz. Released in 1974, it brought her widest audience and earned her the nickname "Queen of Rock" from Rolling Stone. It stands alongside Blue as one of the most unified and insightful records in her catalog.
Moving away from purely confessional songwriting, Mitchell turns to vivid character studies and explores honesty and trust in relationships of every kind. "Free Man in Paris" takes a pointed look at the machinery of the music industry, while "Raised on Robbery" finds sharp humor in the singles-bar scene. Polished jazz-inflected arrangements and Mitchell's distinctive voice and phrasing make this a record that rewards repeated listening.
