Can't agree more w/you Jim!! I never purchased either Hits or Misses for
exactly that reason- the songs being out of context to the central theme.
I have often wondered why these were released- was it a JM decision, or the
record company's? It never really has made sense to me.

Willy,
You're baiting us, right? Anyway, I agree, sort of. While I love all of
Joni's albums, I think the songs lose a whole lot when lifted out of
context. They lose a ton.
"misses" is like a meal of different courses chosen by committee. I'm
thinking of Garlic Chicken followed by a Hot Fudge Sundae. I'm mean, I
love
'em both, but one should certainly not follow the other.
On the Cowboy Junkies' list I recommended that people start with C&S, Blue,
FTR, Hejira, DJRD, or HOSL. Not "hits". Not "misses".
Two cents,
Lama
