i have always loved the cover of Ladies of the Canyon...i love the b&w sketch of her with colorful imagery underneath on a background of white....it is a perfect visual reflection of the simplicity & relative innocence of that time & place (late 60's, early 70's in laurel canyon)...
i have always had a particular fondness for that era both musically & culturally, wishing i could have somehow wandered into that music scene but in actuality living a somewhat parallel existence in another canyon about 100 miles north... well you know, as they say, you can take the girl out of the flowerpower but you can't take the flowerpower out of the girl...or something like that... i also feel the cover perfectly reflects the music/lyrics within & perfectly reflects who joni was at that time... >>Which is her "best" album cover, and why? This may be better worded as "Which is your favourite", as this will always be subjective.... Which cover best describes the musical and/or lyrical content of that album? And which cover best describes Joni as a person?<< npimh- 'the babysitters here'-dar williams "and it's peace, man, cool, yeah, the babysitter's here" ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ******************************************** "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
