Comments for Joni Mitchell, Hejira

Her use of electric guitar as opposed to acoustic makes this album particularly interesting.

An under-rated record overshadowed by "Hissing Of Summer Lawns". As usual Joni did the right thing and made a simpler record, less flashy than "Hissing" but her guitar playing and Pastorious'bass playing make it a more intimate record.

Compeling, as meaningful to me when released (I was 17). as it is today.

One of the most brilliant albums of Joni`s career, but it also marked Joni`s turn toward a jazzier, more experimental style that moved away from traditional folk and rock. Neil Young plays a haunting harmonica on "Furry Sings the Blues," a song about W.C. Handy.
