The bulk of this collection is occupied by songs from Mitchell's late '80s and '90s albums, which contained some of her most innovative and adventurous material. It was that very experimentalism that alienated Mitchell from her top-40 fans, which may have been a blessing in disguise. Freed of public expectations, the composer could now explore all the arcane intricacies of her muse.\n\u003cbr\u003eMitchell's '90s work, as represented by \"Sex Kills\" and \"Passion Play (When All The Slaves Are Free),\" has an overt socio-political context, giving her a more earthly focus than did the personal, abstract concerns of her earlier, better-known work. She addresses environmental issues, class struggle and AIDS without the didacticism that brings down similar efforts by others. The smooth, elegant production Mitchell favored on her later releases left many folk purists cold, but there are endless layers of delicately-arranged harmonic tapestries to be appreciated in late-model Joni. MISSES also features some unjustly obscure tracks from early albums, including \"The Arrangement\" and \"A Case Of You.\" Whatever period of Mitchell's work you favor, MISSES offers an opportunity to delve deeper into the oeuvre of a complicated and unpredictable artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1996-10-29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1996-10-29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joni Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45221886328947,"sku":"0GYE1B-04SM-54","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/joni-mitchell-misses_IwMzk.jpg?v=1783822399","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/joni-mitchell-misses","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
