hi lucy your post on Hejira struck a chord with me as I USED to feel exactly the same. In fact the reason I went out and bought Hejira was that everyone on the list talked about it so highly and I thought I must be really missing something ! So I duly went out to buy it and I was so disappointed on first listening as previously I had been a total canyonlady blue type, so I think musically it takes a bit of getting used to the difference. But please persevere, you will grow to love it, there are a few I still don't particularly love but I used to skip the song Hejira itself and now I adore it - the words just blow me away. Song for Sharon always puts a smile on my face, Black Crow makes me want to go wild, Coyote is a great driving song, and A Strange boy just does something to me, it is sooo sexy, one of my joni favourites by far.
So anyway, I agree with Catherine, give it a rest for a bit and go back to it, I'm sure it will grow on you, or vice versa! Or - you never know, and may I be struck down by lightening for saying it.. - you may simply just not ever like it, if we all liked everything in exactly the same way how boring it would be...... best wishes sarah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay in touch with absent friends.
