Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns: Joni Mitchell has written so many beautiful songs over the years that you might think she would run out of material or ideas. Not so. She just keeps on writing and singing as well as she used to, and it's great to see. It has been a few years since her last studio effort, but she made the wait worthwhile.

It's not as good as Court and Spark, but that's a tough act to follow. Her lyrics are very interesting. It's hard to pick any songs out as favorites since they're all good.
