Reviews Customer Reviews for Clouds      "I think I Understand"      Rating:      This is Joni Mitchell's second album, a harbinger of things to come, showcasing her wide range despite the economy of words and lyrics. Most people are familiar with "Both Sides Now," or more accurately Judy Collins rendition of this classic song. Joni Mitchell's version is more haunting and emotional, displaying the sheer joy of her talent. The lyrics are evocative of the 60s folk-rock tradition, while hinting at Joni's diverse style on display more completely on later albums. The true test of any artist is Auto-durability (essentially, how long one keeps it in the CD Player in the car). This is one album that resides in my car for every long periods of time, particularly in Spring and Fall seasons. My favorite cuts include Tin Angel, The Gallery and Songs to Aging Children Come, and I Think I Understand. However, there isn't a bad track on the album. It is also nice that the CD comes with the original album cover art as well.     Customer Reviews for Clouds Cd      Great Early Joni Mitchell      Rating:      Songs to Aging Children Come is achingly beautiful & haunting, one of my favorite songs of any artist Chelsea Morning is one of those songs that I don't know how anyone couldn't like though I suppose it's possible Fiddle & the Drum is a spirited rebuke of militarism that would no doubt be considered silly and pretentious by many. Unfortunately it isn't and continues to be relevant through the years. Both sides now is simply a classic, about as deep as a twenty-something gets the rest is fine late sixties music, Joni Mitchell is an essential artist in anyone's music collection Editorial Reviews for Clouds Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Joni Mitchell's second album contains the first manifestations of her artistic brilliance. Where her debut, Song to a Seagull, has hints of greatness, Clouds displays the real thing. With her newfound control on melody and lyrical economy, she delivers songs that are readily accessible, instantly hummable, and virtually timeless. Her hippie excesses are still in view ("Songs to Aging Children Come" is untamed), but, for the most part, she has found her voice. "Both Sides Now" has become a lite-FM staple (thanks to Judy Collins's cover). While songs such as the incredibly idyllic "Tin Angel" (nicely covered by Tom Rush on his classic Circle Game), "Chelsea Morning," and "I Don't Know Where I Stand" have become modern folk standards. --Rob O'Connor
