Hejira [Sacd] (Hybrid Sacd Numbered)

Joni Mitchell - Hejira [Sacd] (Hybrid Sacd Numbered)

Joni Mitchell Embarks on Open Journeys and Chronicles Restlessness on Hejira: Jazz-Minded Effort Is Ranked the 113th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Superb Detail, Tonality, and Clarity: First Time 1976 Set Is Presented in Audiophile Sound on Disc Joni Mitchell is the only artist who could've made Hejira. The legendary singer-songwriter said as much when discussing the album decades after its release. Yet that fact seemed obvious from the moment the gold-certified effort streeted in fall 1976. An adventurous travelogue, probing narrative, and offbeat homage to freedom, Hejira remains an inimitable entry in the catalog of recorded music - a spare, gorgeous, meditative series of sonic vignettes comprised of floating harmonic pop, cool jazz, soft rock, and sensitive vocal elements that beckon feelings of motion, discovery, and self-examination. Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the record with definitive detail, richness, accuracy, and directness. This collectible reissue reproduces in breathtaking fashion the tones, textures, and craftsmanship that help Hejira function as the equivalent of a liberating trip down an open road with nothing but blue sky and natural landscape in the immediate vicinity. The contributions of the A-list musicians - most especially, Jaco Pastorius and Larry Carlton - emerge with cohesiveness and transparency. Everything about Hejira signals it's time for a welcome departure from norms and the past, one that leads to a heightened sense of clarity and perspective. Or, as Mitchell said upon choosing the album title, it's time for ''leaving the dream, no blame.'' Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACD NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION Track List 1. Coyote 2. Amelia 3.
