Cover of Shine

All times are GMT-5

I would be interested in others views on the front cover of the Shine cd. I don't really like it myself, but I have noticed that the sheet music uses completely different artwork (see Amazon for example) which is really beautiful and much more "Joni". Any thoughts would be welcome!

I totally agree with you, and I think it was a missed opportunity. Part of the appeal of being 'a fan' of Joni is sharing her art and creativity, and a big buzz for me is to see her fine art or photography through the medium of her album covers. The 'Fiddle and The Drum' ballet was stunning both visually and musically, yet I feel that if Joni had used her Green Flag Song images for the album cover/inner booklet, the album art work may have had more impact.

I share this View, However I think there is a certain
humility in giving focus on Dance, It may be
Joni's way of publicly saying "I love my Ballet"...
