Loreena McKennitt

Parallel Dreams Grasshopper

 Loreena’s soprano shatters crystal, sharper and more “earthly” than Enya’s velvety angelic voice.

 "Breaking The Silence" stands out as a masterpiece, with a buildup of tension and a dramatic finale reminiscent of Peter Gabriel’s "Biko."

 Listen to Loreena McKennitt’s Parallel Dreams for a captivating blend of Celtic tradition and poetic storytelling.

Bob Dylan

Desire Grasshopper

 The violin of Jewish traditional accompaniment, the "fiddle," makes even the longest ballads absolutely intense and poignant.

 "Hurricane" is a fantastic example of Dylanian neorealism, telling the real story of Rubin Carter with fierce indignation.

 Explore Bob Dylan's Desire album for an unforgettable journey through powerful stories and rich musical textures.

Joni Mitchell

Both Sides Now Grasshopper

 This is the caption I would put under this image, and I would also associate it with this indecipherable record, which has the power to trigger a conflict between ear and mind within me.

 A paradoxical record, well-made and precious, but perfectly useless, like a beautiful luxury ornament.

 Listen to Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now' and discover the beauty and contradictions of her jazz reinterpretations.
