Title: Joni's Best Work !
Review: The incredible roll Joni was on forever changed the singer / songwriter genre. Which also included Carol King, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers.But it was Joni that was pushing the envelope with Hissing of Summer Lawns. While her rabid fans were in love with this lady of the canyon, they turned on her in droves with this pop / folk / jazz masterpiece.When you listen to For The Roses, Court and Spark and Hissing, back to back, it's obvious that the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross jazz of her youth was rearing it's ugly head, for all of us who had a clue ( unlike the idiots at Rollingstone ), for us to embrace.If you aspire to be a great songwriter, listen to Sly & The Family Stone / Stand, John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, StevieWonder / Music Of My Mind, Paul Simon / Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell / Hissing of Summer Lawns.
