Björk, 'Biophilia'

In this week's slate of Rolling Stone reviews, David Fricke raves about Björk's latest album, Biophilia, a multi-media project full of "eerie details" in which "human desires and foibles echo natural phenomena." Also, Will Hermes digs the "beautifully weary" tunes on Ryan Adams' new record, Ashes and Fire, and Nick Catucci pans the overly formulaic third album from Evanescence.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
