Joni is apparently suffering from something called Morgellon's disease. Sounds creepy.

Sufferers include folk singer Joni Mitchell, who has complained of "this weird incurable disease that seems like it's from outer space... Fibres in a variety of colours protrude out of my skin: they cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral. Morgellons is a slow, unpredictable killer – a terrorist disease. It will blow up one of your organs, leaving you in bed for a year."

So it's new, frightening and profoundly odd. But if you were to seek the view of the medical establishment, you'd find the strangest fact about this disease: morgellons doesn't exist.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns for me. That record has so much going on and gives off a deadly vibe.

Me too. Love that album. Its' almost perfect. The jungle line disrupts the vibe a bit, but apart from that it's great.

For me side one of hissing is perfect, The Jungle Line works well enough coming right after In France They Kiss On Main St since In France is fairly up tempo. It just sounds like she's stepping it up a bit for the Jungle Line before settling back in to the groove with Edith. She doesn't put a foot wrong until The Boho Dance and Harry's House, she drops the ball badly at that point and never quite gets back in the game.

Hissing has dropped to number 2 since I voted.

Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is now in pole position.

Is it bad that I want her to loose all her money so that she has to go on tour?

I think I'll start revisiting the post-Mingus albums tomorrow.

I am trying Hejira for the first time.

I struggle with all well-produced jazzy 70's albums so i'm hoping this is a teeny bit more off the wall

the only other Joni Mitchell album I know is Blue...

 

[Lili Marlene]

I DON'T GET THIS.

I DON'T GET THIS.

Just listened to The Hissing Of Summer Lawns for the first time.

a) the jazz rock bits put me off cos i hate jazz rock but I was getting into it all by the end
b) prince is on record as loving his album and having finally listened to it I can say he took a lot from it.

Hissing and Steely Dan have a lot in common too I think, or maybe it's only Larry Carlton. I think you should try Don Juan's Reckless Daughter next. It's her best album and it has no jazz despite all the fretless bass and the Wayne Shorter sax

Well I like fretless bass cos Japan so I will!

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I prefer her jazzy albums to the singer songwriter ones.

Hissing is my fav.

Well it's obviously a lot to take in in one listen but it's been the most my kind of thing by her that I've come across so far, thank u for the suggestion.
