Joni Mitchell – Night Ride Home

I nearly swerved this when I saw it for £1 in a charity shop. (I've bought a ton of cheap turkeys lately, which have been listened to once and then fiiled into a box, to get rid of painlessly at some point, don't worry, they won't suffer).

'60s and '70s Joni is, of course, immaculate stuff, by and large. I missed out the '80s, not based on anything really, except I probably just read mixed reviews. This 1991 album sounds like a return to form to me. Joni sounds confident in the material, the band are sympathetic (drums on The Windfall perhaps a wee bit sledge-hammery, turn it down a bit mate eh) and the songs are great.
