This David Crosby-produced album is a sparse and beautiful folk record. This was Joni Mitchell's debut, yet already it was apparent that here was an immense lyrical talent. Her great melodic gift developed more fully later on, as these are fairly standard-fare folk items. Still, few writers had used such a conversational style in song, and for that alone, this was a milestone of a record. The listener was encouraged and welcomed into a stream of dialogue and tales without needing to know what they were all about.

Original jazz arrangements for piano and acoustic bass with vocals of singer songwriter hits by Carole King, James Taylor, Leonard Bernstein and others.
