Along with the 1971 Blue album, this record, out three years later, shows Joni Mitchell moving away from the folky, one-lone-guitar-and-voice sound to a fuller, '70s soft-rock vibe
The memorable tracks on this album include Help Me, Free Man in Paris and the title track. These songs mark some of Mitchell's best and most unfettered work. The jazzy direction of later albums started to make early appearances on songs like Court and Spark and Help Me, as Mitchell's vocal performance complements and works with the soulful horn section.
