I respect the hell out of Mitchell. Aside from being a brilliant songwriter, she could have easily followed her success as a folky singer/songwriter and stayed in that idiom. Instead, she explored jazz and world music and made her music so much richer because of it.
Here she teams up with bass-maestro Jaco Pastorius, and he brings beautifully virtuosic, but (for him) restrained playing that complements the songs.
Also, love the album cover. It almost feels vaguely Lynchian.
