Take it or leave it
Tisch's morning thread made me realise we don't actually appear to have a thread for this seminal album, which turned 50 this week.
There are other Joni records that resonate with me more (Hejira is forever my #1) and the big hitters from this are very overplayed/overcovered at this point, but it's kind of undeniable nevertheless.
10 All I Want
10 My Old Man
09 Little Green
09 Carey
10 Blue
09 California
09 This Flight Tonight
10 River
10 A Case of You
11 The Last Time I Saw Richard
The end of The Last Time I Saw Richard is just devastating
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
