John,
if you liked Blue you would probably really like the other albums from
roughly the same time. i absolutely LOVE Ladies of teh Canyon. everyone
must hear Rainy Night House!! it has woodstock, big yellow taxi, and circle
game....so if you want to get an album with as few songs as possible from
hits then this mightn't be the best choice. but it is a very very brilliant
album -willy and real good for free are also Joni essentials, imho!
For the Roses is a natural progression from LOTC and Blue. it is truly
fantastic, my fave Joni at the moment. every track is a gem.
then i'd recommend Turbulent Indigo just because it isn't like anything on
Hits. it show s Joni in teh 90's and i think it's one of her strongest
albums.
or alternativly, buy misses. then listeneing to hits and misses decide
which era joni you like and go for those albums:-)
let us know what you decide.
GARRET
