***** Tom Tom Stand beats a growing thunder, Comes the Prairie Chieftains " To even dark clouds signing echoes lost, broken promises Angry waves, Cornfield chorus wails battle cry, A nervous ponies, crisp, lively eyes, points of Flint, All the loot in the quiver, Ride the Wind, journey to the river, yellow hair and blue skirts error, Many Crazy Horses, conflicting Titans, Black Hills buried Bloodstained Grasslands, old anger *****

The third in Joni Mitchell’s ongoing series of thematic compilations drawn from her stellar back catalog, Songs of a Prairie Girl is described by Mitchell in her liner notes as “my contribution to Saskatchewan’s Centennial celebrations,” an appropriate gesture since she spent most of her childhood in Saskatoon, a city in that Canadian province. Most of the songs on Songs of a Prairie Girl deal in one way or another with childhood or adolescence, often with a bittersweet edge; there’s little in the way of unbridled nostalgia, with “Let the Wind Carry Me” and “Urge for Going” expressing the desire to escape the boundaries of small-town life, and “Ray’s Dad’s Cadillac” and “Song for Sharon” recalling equal measures of joy and remorse in the misadventures of her teen years. Mitchell’s music also splendidly conjures up the wintry space of the Canadian plains, especially on the epic “Paprika Plains” from Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter (appearing here in a new mix that reduces the emphasis on the orchestra in favor of Joni’s piano) and the symphonic version of “Cherokee Louise.” And while there are moments of remembered joy (particularly on “Harlem in Havana”), for the most part Songs of a Prairie Girl is, by design, a meditation on the broad and snowy spaces of Saskatchewan, and Mitchell herself advises with tongue in cheek that the listeners should “get yourself a hot beverage and stand by the heater as you listen.” As a collection of lesser-known material (“Raised on Robbery” is the only “hit” here), Songs of a Prairie Girl once again casts a well-considered glance on a less-explored aspect of Mitchell’s work, and these songs convey the mingled pleasure and sadness of growing up with the careful eye of a true artist, as well as the crisp if faded memories of the home she left so many years ago. Beautiful stuff, and richly rewarding. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Femi Jiya – Barking; Joni Mitchell – Billatron, Vocals (Background), Piano, Guitar, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals, Keyboards; Larry E.

Manitoba’s vegetation reflects the general physiographic regions and responds to local influences such as climate, soils, and topography. Cyclists will not see the tundra around the Hudson Bay, although northern cycling routes cross boreal or coniferous forests. Mixed deciduous-coniferous, deciduous forests and aspen parkland (aspen groves mixed with grasslands or fields) in southwestern and central Manitoba, travel past rare remnant tall-grass and mixed-grass prairie among the croplands.
Wildlife viewing is an asset to traveling in Manitoba, especially in the more remote and less populated areas. Riding Mountain National Park excels in this regard, with elk, moose, deer, bear, and numerous fur-bearers and rodents among its resident species. Watch for white-tailed deer, coyotes, foxes and rabbits along the roads of southern Manitoba.
Manitoba’s continental climate has benefits and disadvantages for travelers. The long and cold winters preclude travelers for all but the hardiest enthusiasts. When summer suddenly appears it can be wonderful, with warm, sunny weather prevailing.
Average temperatures for Winnipeg are slightly higher than those experienced in the rest of the province. Southwestern Manitoba receives less precipitation on fewer days, while higher elevations, such as Riding Mountain, tend to receive higher rainfall or snow over approximately the same number of days.
Wind is an important consideration for outdoor activities. When the wind does blow from the north, it is usually very strong. Winnipeg has the dubious distinction of being the windiest recording station in the province. In western Manitoba, easterly and westerly winds prevail from April to October, although northern winds are strong in April and May. In northern Manitoba (The Pas), winds tend to blow from the southeast and the west, although calm conditions are frequent in July and August. Throughout the province, winds are strongest in April and May.
