Wow, that was absolutely beautiful and this is coming from a girl who is a pissy mood right now (I blame the book Ulysses that I can't stop bitching about and Leonard Cohen). Can I just say that female musicians in this era absolutely rock? We got Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Dolly Parton. Take that society!
Joni Mitchell's voice is one that can't really be described; you really just have to listen to it. It is sort of a cross between Joan Baez and someone that can actually hit high notes (sorry Joan). Needless to say, it is haunting and pretty. The songs are just as beautiful. If I had known the song "California" when I went to France, I would have known exactly how to put what I was feeling into words. Definitely one of the best albums of all time (I also feel this way about Tapestry, American Pie, Who's Next, Rubber Soul, and Chelsea Girl just so you can get a feel for my taste).
RATING: 5/5
