Title: Instant classic? Without question.
Review: There are few albums (CDs, sorry) that have ever grabbed me, from the first notes, so completely as this one.From the whimsical ("Twisted") to the lyrical ("Just Like This Train"), and even the downright sassy ("Raised On Robbery"), Mitchell dishes up sonic magic. There are even side trips to that rarest of territories, the intelligent, literate top-40 hit ("Free Man In Paris" and "Help Me).Ah, and then there's the title cut... a wistful telling of a romance that almost was.Sad to say, Joni peaked with this one. Oh, sure, she's knocked a few out of the park since; but she has yet to hold a candle to this bonfire.One of my all-time top five.
