<<I have heard so many more Joni
influences in his work over the years>>
On the acoustic CD that was a part of his "Crystal Ball" project, there's a song
called "Circle De Amour" that not only sounds like a Joni song, but talks about the
girls growing up and getting 'caught up in The Circle Game'...
Probably more if you do an analysis of his musical structure.
His 90's output gets razzed a lot, but I think it stands with the best of what he did
in the 80's. "Emancipation" in particular may be the most underrated release of the
90's!
Thanks for a great post!
