Hits does exactly what the title promises, gathering Joni Mitchell's best-known songs onto one CD edition that runs from her late-1960s folk beginnings into the early 1990s.

Released in 1996 alongside its companion set Misses, the collection's fifteen tracks map her rise from coffeehouse songwriter to one of the most admired artists of her generation. It's a tidy, well-chosen introduction, but the sheer quality of the songs means it never feels like a simple greatest-hits grab.

"Big Yellow Taxi" is here, of course, still bouncing along with its sharp environmental warning and that famous laugh at the end. "Both Sides Now" and "Chelsea Morning" carry the bright, ringing guitar and soaring melodies of her early years, while "Help Me" and "Free Man in Paris" show the jazzier, more sophisticated Joni of the mid-1970s, smooth on the surface and restless underneath.

"River" adds a note of wintry melancholy that has made it a seasonal favourite for decades, and the later songs, including "Chinese Cafe / Unchained Melody," carry the story forward into her more reflective years.

For newcomers, this is the doorway. For seasoned fans, it's a reminder of how many stone-cold classics she wrote in a remarkably short span of time.
