Well in my hopscotching of Joni Mitchell's catalog my latest acquisition is indeed The Hissing of Summer Lawns(it's as if I sensed that one was on the horizon) and it's a great album from the 2 or 3 times I've listened to it. So far I think my favorite is the title track. Only two tracks I'm not...

Oh I'm fully engrossed in Hejira's haunting beauty right now, Patrick. It's the Joni Mitchell I choose to listen to first whereas if you see my earlier posts I was blinded by Blue and Court & Spark. So much so that perhaps I couldn't really accept any other Joni Mitchell albums. As I type this...

Well as you might be able to tell from my current sig, I've embraced Hejira. Coyote and the title track are still the standout songs for me but now I'm also really liking Song for Sharon and Refuge of the Roads(and Black Crow!). Along with those I'm also starting to get into Furry Sings the...

I don't think her lyrics on Hejira are less accomplished, it's just a different style of songwriting. A style that has evolved from her early 70's period of songwriting, and rightly so considering that she had achieved massive success and fame during that time with her unique sound. A true...

Well I've acquired Hejira and listend to it, before I've had the chance to get Ladies of the Canyon or After The Roses. I think I agree with Mike in terms of the music being "tough to penetrate". Whereas I fell into Blue and Court and Spark effortlessly, Hejira strays from the sound I'm used to...

I wouldn't doubt it, Scott. I guess I'm getting into my singer/songwriter phase in which I'm diving into this early 70's music with a passion. Joni Mitchell's music has been like an epiphany. Great music coupled with a master wordsmith. Now when I hear references to Joni Mitchell in movies or...

Thanks for the advice, Patrick. Yeah it seems like 'Ladies' and 'Roses' are the next albums I'll explore in order to become more intimate with Mitchell's music. I'm glad I've finally come around to her but then again considering the other albums I've been exploring lately like Van Morrison's...

Took me long enough but I finally came around to exploring Joni's music. Previously I had only vaguely heard a song or two of hers and I told myself that one day I'll look into her music because it seemed like some good stuff. Well I have, at least two albums within a week so far: 1971's Blue...
