"I think I Understand"

"This is Joni Mitchell's second album, a harbinger of things to come, showcasing her wide range despite the economy of words and lyrics. Most people are familiar with "Both Sides Now," or more accurately Judy Collins rendition of this classic song. Joni Mitchell's version is more haunting and emotional, displaying the sheer joy of her talent. The lyrics are evocative of the 60s folk-rock tradition, while hinting at Joni's diverse style on display more completely on later albums.
The true test of any artist is Auto-durability (essentially, how long one keeps it in the CD Player in the car). This is one album that resides in my car for every long periods of time, particularly in Spring and Fall seasons. My favorite cuts include Tin Angel, The Gallery and Songs to Aging Children Come, and I Think I Understand. However, there isn't a bad track on the album.
It is also nice that the CD comes with the original album cover art as well.

"I can never get enough of Joni's voice. She is the rarest of elements on the singer-songwriter periodic chart.
Listen to "Clouds" and you'll time-travel to an era when this voice captured the attention of a generation."
Joni's Clouds still great!

"It had been years since I heard some of the songs on this CD. Her pure sweet sound brought back a rush of memories and is still as hauntingly beautiful as the first time I heard it. Especially love "Songs to Aging Children Come""
