If you are someone who has listened to Joni since STAS and been in love with all or part of her music since then you will absolutely fall in love with Travelogue. It's hard for me to even describe the way it affects me. For a long time Joni fan it will be like experiencing an exquisite and magical reincarnation of all those first listens long ago. The orchestration IMO is a huge part of its magic. Brilliant and original. Kakki
