I regret not listening to this album before, it is right up there with her best work. I shouldn't have been surprised though, Joni has always took us very seriously as an audience.
pixieharbottle on :
The songs and lyrics in this album have a melancholic theme which is entirely justified. Joni is a great artist and the premier diva of a generation. If this proves to be her last album it's a fine finale.
simper on :
It was wonderful to heart her voice again.Not the greatest of her albums but some memorable songs and in a world of unininspring music it is a worthy champion
