>>I will never understand why she is so under-rated.<< I always feel that I have to say something when this subject comes up & it does from time to time...I can see how someone might understandably think this since we rarely hear Joni being played on commercial radio (which is not what it used to be so that is no longer a very good rating marker).
But from where I stand, I don't think Joni is under-rated at all. I think she is highly regarded, especially among musicians, but this may be much more obvious to those who grew up listening to her music as it was being released. In her day, Joni was HUGE. HUGE. And she still regarded as one of the finest songwriters ever to walk this earth. But a musicians career has its own rise & fall & this is true for everyone. However, I am thrilled to see more & more younger folks joining in who have discovered her music on their own which I think is SO amazing! Just shows how timeless & extraordinary Joni's music is. ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
