Ladies of the Canyon finds Joni Mitchell stepping out of the coffeehouse and into the full light of her talent, presented here as a CD edition of the 1970 album.

Her third record arrived as the Laurel Canyon scene was at its peak, and Mitchell wrote about it from the inside: the friends, the parties, the small domestic rituals and the nagging sense that something bigger was slipping away. Piano starts to share the spotlight with her guitar, and the arrangements open up with cello, clarinet and the occasional chorus of backing voices.

Big Yellow Taxi is the one everybody knows, a jaunty lament about paving paradise that hides real bite under its cheerful strum. Woodstock, written about the festival she famously missed, turns hippie optimism into something haunting and almost hymnal. Rainy Night House is a candlelit confession, intimate enough to feel overheard, and The Circle Game closes things with a singalong meditation on growing older that has been passed between generations ever since.

Elsewhere, Morning Morgantown and For Free sketch small scenes with a painter's eye.

What makes it endure is the voice of a writer suddenly sure of herself, wry, tender and unafraid of detail. It is the sound of a songwriter on the brink of Blue, and a near-perfect album in its own right.
