Umm., well, umm, since some of us are being so honest.....but I don't want
to start any flames or offend our own Don Rowe Klein or some of my friends
here who love the 80s Joni ....but, umm... well, o.k., just my totally
subjective opinion as an old crusty Joni fan, I didn't like what I saw as
the Klein influence, either. However, I think my problem is with the
music/production - the lyrics are still absolutely brilliant. I did feel,
as do many, that she returned to her true, unadulterated essence with Night
Ride Home in '91.
