Ummm ... I think you can have this one way, or the
other, but not both. NRH & TI both credit Larry as
Producer ... just like WTRF, DED & CMIARS.
I think it vastly more likely that it was Joni's
return to the acoustic guitar that steered her output
more in the direction of your own personal tastes than
any mordant compulsion of love ... in any case, file
both our views in the folder marked "Pure
Speculation"! ;-)
