She really IS back on Spotify, and the full catalog is finally there.
She created interesting music throughout her career but this early, "Court and Spark"-era gem is her greatest song IMO (the one that Prince interpolated on The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, low-key one of his best - he was a huge fan). When I can focus enough to conjure my parents back to life, when they were together and living in the same house, this is the song that was playing in the background of their goofy fern-decorated, swimming pool festooned LBC ranch house. The 70s were weird but Joni remains undefeated.

Let the choir sing in rejoice, Joni Mitchell is back on Spotify folks. And while some music heads might be tripping over themselves to stream the legendaric Blue 1971 album, you can catch me at the sonic jazz bar that is Both Sides Now. You might be familiar with this re-recorded track and album from the iconic Emma Thompson scene in 2001’s Christmas cult classic Love Actually but this album is so much more. If you’re a jazz enjoyer, or maybe not so into Americana folk, and wanna know what all the Joni-craze is about: this is the album for you.
I recommend listening no earlier than dusk and maybe after a little bit of a hard day.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
