Notes
Mastered from the original analog tapes at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
A fantastic recording. Joni Mitchell’s third album offers a bridge between the artful but sometimes dour meditations of her earlier work and the more mature, confessional revelations of the classics that would follow. Voice and guitar still hew to the pretty filigree of a folk poet, but there’s the giggling rush of rock and roll freedom in “Big Yellow Taxi” and the formal metaphor of her older songs yields to the more impressionistic images of the new ones.
