Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing her breathtaking soprano and uniquely complex open-guitar tunings, Joni Mitchell's sophomore release established her as a premier voice of the acoustic folk movement. Featuring the iconic staples 'Chelsea Morning' and 'Both Sides, Now', 'Clouds' is wonderfully peaceful and beautifully soft, brimming with fiercely poetic, highly melodic romanticism.
