Joni Mitchell's music is precious to me. There is something about her lyrics--poetic but folksy--that is so disarming and enchanting. Her songs always catch you off-guard. A friend introduced me to her album "Hejira" years ago, and it's given me so much comfort in dark times, and so much joy in light times. She's a once-in-a-generation kind of artist, just consistently brilliant.
Some entrypoints, if I may (and please reply with your favorites):
- Refuge of the roads - Hejira
- Blue motel room - Hejira
- You turn me on, I'm a radio - For the roses
- Edith and the kingpin - The hissing of summer lawns
- lenocinor 4y agoI’m a big fan of the title track for Hejira too. Great album!
- malauxyeux 4y agoNot to take the easy way out, but everything on "Hits" is good.
- missedthecue 4y agoBoth Sides Now was her best. That song gets sweeter and sweeter as I age.
