RIVER the joni letters HERBIE HANCOCK HiRes 96/24

I happened not to purchase this album till recently just because I've been Joni's fan since 1977 and I thought it was a cover album, thus not so interested when it was released in 2007 even though it's won the album of the year @ Grammy Award 2008.
So the motivation of purchasing this album is that I recently bought Norah Jones ...Featuring and found cover version of "Court & Spark" is really nice one, and HDTracks sent me the mail offering15% discount code just valid through 12/31/2010.

This album is basically consisted of Joni's songs, but "Solitude" and "Nefertiti" are exceptions.

Track Listing

1. Court and Spark (featuring Norah Jones)
2. Edith and the Kingpin (featuring Tina Turner)
3. Both Sides Now
4. River (featuring Corinne Bailey Rae)
5. Sweet Bird
6. Tea Leaf Prophecy (featuring Joni Mitchell)
7. Solitude
8. Amelia (featuring Luciana Souza)
9. Nefertiti (2007)
10. Jungle Line (featuring Leonard Cohen)

Produced by Larry Klein (Joni's husband) and Herbie Hancock and probably the last recording session for Wayne Shorter.

As I have been said regarding HiRes recording, the difference you can hear quite distinctive when to compare with CD sound is the sound of acoustic instruments, especially instrumental solo.
