When I purchased Mitchell’s album, Hejeira, back in the day, I was at first disappointed in the lack of percussive efforts by John Guerin and the others who backed Joni live and in studio. But it did not take lone for the album to sink deeper into my hearing. The black and white cover reflects the stark instrumentation and melancholy to such an extent I prefer to listen to it on cold, cloudy, rainy days. Will never appreciate it enough.
