Joni Mitchell - Hejira - Acoustic Version (1976) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

I previously posted acoustic versions of Joni Mitchell's 1974 album "Court and Spark" and 1975 album "The Hissing of Summer Lawns." Here comes an acoustic version of her 1976 album "Hejira." This is a Mike Solof guest post.

As usual, Mike has included a PDF file in the download with his own thoughts. So I don't feel the need to say more much here, since he says a lot there. But if you love Mitchell's early music yet had trouble with her jazzier albums, this is a good opportunity to hear this excellent album done in her earlier acoustic style.

The track order is the same as on the official album, but Mike threw on a couple of extra songs, "Jericho" and "Help Me," at the end.

This album is 54 minutes long.

01 Coyote (Joni Mitchell)
02 Amelia (Joni Mitchell)
03 Furry Sings the Blues (Joni Mitchell)
04 A Strange Boy (Joni Mitchell)
05 Traveling [Hejira] (Joni Mitchell)
06 Song for Sharon (Joni Mitchell)
07 Black Crow (Joni Mitchell)
08 Blue Motel Room (Joni Mitchell)
09 Refuge of the Roads [Early Mix with Horns] (Joni Mitchell)
10 Jericho [Rehearsal Version] (Joni Mitchell)
11 Help Me [Rehearsal Version] (Joni Mitchell)

Luckily for my purposes, there are some outtakes from the photo session for the cover of the "Hejira" album. I selected one of those, and replaced the image on the cover. I also made a slight change to the album title.
