About
Never one to stay in one space for long, Joni Mitchell followed up the commercial success of <i>Court and Spark</i> with the daring and challenging <i>The Hissing of Summer Lawns</i>, where the allure of the city fueled her teenage dreams away from the suburbs on “In France They Kiss on Main Street." The Drummers of Burundi and a Moog synthesizer provided unusual menace to “The Jungle Line,” a celebration of French Postimpressionistic painter Henri Rousseau. Mitchell was a cool decade ahead of other singer-songwriters here, and initial responses to the album reflected this. However, in retrospect, this set is yet another masterpiece.
