Joni Mitchell, 197?
This is Joni's equivalent of Tea For the Tillerman.
Similar vintage too.
Joni and I have travelled together for many years now...
And this is the album where it all magically began.
Very much an album of the bedsit/midnight red wine/discussion about life etc.
...Although, as with most of these classic early 70s albums, I was probly only 10 when it came out!
Favourites are all of 'em, though it's hard to resist Carey, California, This Flight Tonight and A Case of You.
Have you heard heavy metal band Nazareth's cover version of This Flight Tonight?
Great fun!
Back on Joni's album we have the piano, the gently stummed guitar, the plaintive clarinet, and that wideranging, vulnerable voice...
If you need a place to start with Ms Mitchell, THIS is it.
10/10
