"Amour mama, not cheap display"

Following a recommendation elsewhere on this site, I acquired the Joni Mitchell 'Demos Of Summer Lawns' set.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice... All played on solo guitar or piano with Joni doing the string/horn parts as vocals. after a couple of listens I'm beginning to think they're actually better than the 'properly' recorded versions.
Definitely gets the Stimpy Seal Of Approval.

I've always liked that album best because it's not too "singer-songwriter-y", but when it's stripped back to her with guitar / piano it really adds something. The best thing is her singing her own backing instruments, eg on Edith & Kingpin.
