Joni's last, as good as ever
Don't see where that earlier one star review came from - here's Joni still on top form. Certainly flying the eco flag - but let's not forget that back around 1970, with Phil Ochs & James Taylor, she was a lynchpin of Amchitka, the concert that launched Greenpeace.
And no, her voice has definitely not 'gone' - it is just a more mellow and deep version of the original, and that transition has been much on evidence for a long time. This album is trademark latter-day Joni with those laid back jazz influences shining through with a vengeance.
Sadly, ten years on, this remains her last album - but if it remains so, it's a great legacy. Thanks Joni
