Thats my fave Joni album!

I second that!!! "Chair in the Sky" and "Dry Cleaner" are my favorite songs.

joni mitchell - a case of you


special to me to the tenth power

One of my favourite albums when I was a teenager. Love the cover art too.

i no got...is this a must have?

It's the one album from her classic stretch that I don't have.

oh hell yes!

i like the entire thing but haven't listened to it in a few months.

i love that whole "god must be a boogie man" chant.

"the dry cleaner from des moines" is one of my fav joni songs. the
picture of charles that joni did for the cover is cool too.

it's sad charles didn't get to hear the end product

joni mitchell-mingus?

She's not that bad for her age

I own it, but I have to say it's one of the few Joni albums of original material that I haven't completely swam in note-for-note.

I immediately recall highpoints like "God Must Be a Boogieman" and the fun Happy Birthday thing (that is from Mingus, right?), but I know little else. Maybe it'll be this weekend's project.

Well. It's not like it's an album that's easy to memorize throughout. I must have heard it hundreds of times in the 90s but I barely remember anything of it (I still have uhm... a tape copy of it somewhere).
