>Epiphanies anyone? We I got HITS first of all after being intrigued by her art work and the fact she had so many albums and I'd never heard of her! I was captivated from the moment 'Urge for Going' started and loved all the tracks apart from 'Come In From The Cold' which I now love btw. 'Big Yellow Taxi' sounded farmiliar but on a whole all her music was new to me.
I then rushed out and got MISSES which was like jumping into the deep end!. Out of the songs I liked straight away were 'For The Roses' and 'Harry's House...' (still 2 of my faves). I then got THOSL which I played and wrote-off straight away thinking she went mad or something! Then I got 'Blue' which I love(d) all the way through. I refused to believe that 'Harry's House...' was the only good track on THOSL so I went back to it and bit by bit it got through to me and since then the album has only ever sounded divine. After that I eventually got every Joni album! So I guess it was THOSL that made me realise that her music grows and is timeless. Stephen Toogood NP: 'My Own Private Riot' Thea Gilmore
