Joni Mitchell - All I Want

Here's another one in the "where we came from" category. Joni was always a favourite of mine, thanks to my mother's good taste, but she often seems to suffer from a lack of appreciation from indiepopsters, even those who regularly sing the praises of her associates Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. Which I'm sure has nothing to do with her being a woman.

This is the lovely track that leads off the album Blue and pretty much defines it for me. As always with Joni, it's worth listening to for the guitar alone. And of course so much more.
