- I know this does not qualify as "folk" music, but I would have to
- recommend "Hissing of Summer Lawns" as the best album Joni Mitchell
- put out. It was release after "Court & Spark" so it in more in her
- jazz genre. I remember when I first got it, I said I wish she'd put
- out more albums like "Blue", but after listening to it for a few days,
- I was hooked. Of all her albums, it is one of the few I still listen
- to on a regular basis.
-
- In general, I think _anything_ by her is worth buying site unheard :-)
- "Ladies of the Canyon" and "Blue" are required listening. "Mingus" might
- be a little too inaccessable for most people to get into.
