The Hit List Tracklist 1 Dirty Deeds Lyrics 2 Love Hurts Lyrics 3 Pretty Vacant Lyrics 4 Celluloid Heroes Lyrics 5 Tush Lyrics 6 Time Has Come Today Lyrics 7 Up From The Skies Lyrics 8 Have You. “And since I’ve recently come out about my health and experiences that weren’t all good, I think everything I’ve written so far is just further explaining my truth. “So far, the things I’ve written are very personal,” said Evancho. Songs she’s writing now are also some of her most personal and bare after she recently opened up about her battle with anorexia and being diagnosed with osteoporosis. It’s about being true to who I am now, and not being afraid to show that to my fans, and to the world.” For me, it’s just experimenting with different sounds and embracing songwriting. I work better solo writing, but I have been dabbling with co-writing in Nashville lately.”Įvancho added, “It’s constantly evolving, and, and it’s something that happens on its own. Starting with the very early minute-long noise blast 'Raw Power' (it might well be the Iggy Pop song they stole their band name from, but it's so lyrically unintelligible and musically blurred that it's hard to tell if it's supposed to be or not) and proceeding through the highlights of a dozen albums and EPs, The Hit List is straightforward. Then the idea sort of spirals, and sometimes it’s a melody that I put lyrics to. “If it’s a lyric that I think is pretty and poetic, I’m going to write it down and put a melody to it. “I typically write by myself, and it’s whatever comes first,” said Evancho, who is working on more original songs. Mitchell’s 1970 album, Ladies of the Canyon, gets attention with Evancho’s tender acoustic wrap on “For Free,” “The Circle Game,” and “Rainy Night House.” Going further back to Mitchell’s 1968 self-titled debut with “Song to a Seagull,” Carousel closed on “Urge for Going,” a track Tom Rush first recorded as a single in 1966 before Mitchell later revisited the song again in 1972 and released as a B-side for “You Turn Me On, I’m A Radio.” Slipping into Mitchell’s Blue era, Evancho takes on the title track, along with “River,” and “ A Case of You,” off her iconic album, love stories inspired by Mitchell’s relationship with James Taylor. “I wanted to get across Joni’s beautiful music with a little bit of Jackie in there. “Picking them was just basically listening to the songs and seeing which ones hit me hard in the chest and gave me chills, and made me feel deeply as I was listening to them,” ” shares Evancho. When choosing songs from Mitchell’s catalog, Evancho gravitated to songs that immersed her the most. Carousel of Time also weaves in another one of Evancho’s Clouds covers, “The Gallery.” Going back to the very beginning, Evancho pulls several tracks from Mitchell’s earlier days, opening on “Both Sides, Now,” a song first recorded by Judy Collins in 1968 before Mitchell released it on her second album Clouds a year later-Mitchell herself who re-recorded the song with an orchestral arrangement for her 2000 album Both Sides Now. A music-based quiz show in which pairs of contestants must name as many hit songs and artists under pressure. And the way that she puts things is something that you really don’t hear much in music back then, and now, and I really admire that.” With Marvin Humes, Rochelle Humes, Vick Hope, Nadine Coyle. “I really like the honesty within her music,” says Evancho of Mitchell. “And it was kind of just one of those things where I was listening to one of those ’70s playlists in the summer and heard her music and thought ‘this would be really fun.’ The idea was born.”Ī follow-up to Evancho’s 2019 album, The Debut, covers of varied Broadway songs, Carousel of Time, produced by Fred Mollin and recorded at Sound Stage Studio in Nashville, finds Evancho exploring an artist more than five decades her senior, with the eloquence and contemplation of someone well beyond her 22 years. “I’ve heard her since as long as I can remember,” Evancho tells American Songwriter of Mitchell’s music. Named after Joni Mitchell and James Taylor’s 1970 live album, Jackie Evancho’s Carousel of Time, a rendition of 10 Mitchell classics, moves back and forth, spanning the earlier chapters within Mitchell’s songbook. His '70s material on this album includes two of his biggest songs, the sultry, rock flavored 'Devil Woman' from 1976 and the easy guitar tempo of 'We Don't Talk Anymore' from 1979. Joni Mitchell was always part of Jackie Evancho’s musical memory. The early hits, including 'Move It' from 1958 and both 'The Young Ones' and 'Bachelor Boy' from 1962, are welcomed additions here since they capture his innocent, adolescent sound and are firm representations of his younger years.
