Morning Morgantown is an awful song title, but quite a good opener, it gives a homely feeling of somewhere you didn't live, but quite often visited, and could imagine your life there one day.
For Free is maybe where I like Joni the most, in piano ballad mode.
Conversation has the annoying janky guitar sound, i can pass. some kind of odd lyrics.
Title track is brilliant, a much more subdued guitar tune that fits her voice very well. Feel this is also a very solid riff on dylan, especially in song structure. bravo
Willy, insane song full of longing, only right its another piano ballad,
And I feel like I'm just being born
Like a shiny light breaking in a storm
There are so many reasons why I love him
poor girl
Arrangement feels a bit redundant, really going for it vocally, and honestly, feel like it could work better with different instrumentation
Rainy Night House, to be completely honest, I'm not sure what to make of this one.
The Priest, I think this is a very good song about being conflicted with religion, but feels too direct with its subject.
Blue Boy was a lot more my groove, great song about reminiscing on old love.
Big Yellow Taxi, a shame more people know the counting crows version, this one feels so much more earnest, and despite the more upbeat and jovial feel to this, it has her edge and heart that is found in previous tracks on the album
Woodstock, very funny, good song, but this is a case, I feel that the CSN cover is much better.
The Circle Game is a good track, not redundant in any way despite a song that feels similar in structure and themes to whats been covered in previous songs and albums being life and love spanning and being covered over a long amount of years.
Overall a very strong effort. Joni's work is very fun to listen to and follow along with the lyrics. Still greatly prefer her 2nd album, but this is better than her first.
