As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

LP #23 Joni Mitchell – Hejira (1976)


I had a lot of trouble settling on a favorite Joni album, among this one, Ladies of the Canyon, and Court and Spark. I finally settled on Hejira despite the lack of radio hits due to the jazzy feel, most notably the bass work of Jaco Pastorius on a couple of the cuts. It hangs together nicely as a whole, without any weak songs in the bunch.
 
Favorite tracks:

Hejira
