In so far as I dont think there should be a top 10 , more like a top 4, 1/ "Hejira" and "Blue" by a country mile, Taking in to consideration the lyrics, the Melody, the Instrumentation and the Playing and lastly the Emotion of Joni's performance on her songs. Jaco's playing on Hejera is one of those rare moments where two artists are brought together and spark magic, And "Blue" is a rare Jewel of an album that has had me in tears for as long as it has been released. 2/ "Miles of Aisles" and "Hissing of summer lawns" , the live album with her statement about "Vincent Van Gogh" before the start of one of her songs pure magic, their is an atmosphere on the album, that conveys the warmth of her personality for posterity, and "Hissing was a whole leap into the dark that dragged her fans with her into her new musical direction, an amazing album. 3/ Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" this album has always been one of my favorites because of "Jaco Pastorious's" Bass playing, but ( having a very sophisticated CD Player & Hi Fi that had the "HDCD" chip on it ) when I heard "Paprika Plains " for the first time on the HDCD disc I was totally blown away by this track how wonderful it is you can listen to her piano playing and the strings in a new light, and the song is about her Indian roots its so emotional, it makes me think what she could have done with the Pat Metheny band backing her on a whole album ie some of her songs drifting into Instrumental music, the rest of the album is great to and its one of Jaco's best albums as well. 4/ THE REST :- I mean all her albums are great i wouldn't place any of her albums lower than 4 , some people are going to say well " For the Roses" is her best but if you play " Blue" then play "Hejira" one after the other all the way through, then play "For the Roses' I think you'll know what I mean. thanks for reading my Letter.

He asked me these particulars: > Do you know anything else about the actual material creation of the piece? > Or what Ms Mitchell herself has said on the subject? > > If you do, could you suggest a time when I might call you for a quick five > minute phone interview? Kakki, do you have time this week to see what's in the STARART book about this cover, if anything? If anyone has anything to contribute, you can send it to Toby, to me, or just post it to the List and I'll forward. I'm sure Joni hasn't discussed the cover on any of the interviews in Simon's tape trees or Ashara's video trees but I haven't read every article in www.jonimitchell.com . Let's play "publicist" for Joni & help our girl get some "ink"! Go Joni! Mmmmwah!!!
