I think of all of Joni's works, including "Blue", "Hejira" is the most universally relatable. It's timeless. The images she paints each of us has experienced in some deep way that she has managed to capture and express. Perhaps, if "Hejira" had been released before "Blue", it would have gotten the recognition it deserved. I guess the critics and the buying public would not accept the fact that one artist could create two masterpieces of equal value and content. To the general public, Joni's most "famous" songs happened before "Blue". To her real fans, the albums from "Blue" to "Hejira" were the artistic cornerstones of a career that we'll continue to follow with anticipation and delight till the end." I couldn't agree with you more, Gary. Your inclusion of the period from "Blue to "Hejira" got me to thinking how much more she has done & I owe it to myself to load her whole catalog on the player & spend a couple of days revisiting all her remarkable & touching work. How lucky we are to have her. Like she has said, she puts it all down on the page for us. GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.
