Written on the road and soaked in highway light, Joni Mitchell's Hejira is one of her most profound albums, presented here as a Canadian import CD.

By 1976, Mitchell had stepped away from the polished jazz-pop of Court & Spark and into something looser and more searching. Many of these songs were written during long drives across America, and they carry that sense of motion, solitude and reflection. Her guitar playing, full of unusual tunings and shimmering open chords, sits at the centre of the album, with the fretless bass of Jaco Pastorius weaving melodies around it on several tracks.

Coyote opens with a restless, rolling groove and a wry portrait of a romantic rambler. Amelia is the emotional heart of the album, a haunting meditation on love and independence that invokes the aviator Amelia Earhart. The title track Hejira glides like a long night drive, while Song for Sharon unspools into a vivid, funny and deeply moving letter to an old friend.

Black Crow and Refuge of the Roads round out a set that rewards patient, close listening. For many fans, Hejira is Mitchell at her most unguarded and adventurous, a portrait of an artist free of expectations and following her muse wherever the road leads.
