After a strange choice for an opening track - the instrumental "One Week Last Summer" - Joni settles into her patented confessional mode for some very nice moments, including "As", "If I Had A Heart", and the very cool, driving "Hana". I'm not sure the re-make of "Big Yellow Taxi" totally hits the mark, though.

A strong comeback from a classic songwriter. This could be an album that sounds better and better the more we listen.
