I agree with much of what this author has to say - and yes, Shari - it opens up discussion rather than creating any kind of definitive conclusion or "list," for sure. I don't really care to identify what is "best" in Joni's work as it's an evolution and as she changes, so does the music. Just like Miles Davis. People wanted Miles to keep playing "My Funny Valentine" but he couldn't. Wouldn't. It even hurt, somehow, to keep playing ballads like that, and he said so. For me, all I hear in these songs is the truth. Reported through an incredibly sophisticated artistic lens. I relate to so much of these early lyrics: Hissing of Summer Lawns and Rainy Night House. Growing up in California - in Marin County - those words described the landscape here in the 60's and 70's to a "t" - they are like little movies that tell those stories. The visuals run through my mind when listening or singing them. She captured it all in her music. So brilliant it takes my breath away. Really. All to say - bravo to a well-written article in a major publication about Joni. She always deserves to be recognized.
