    Joni’s musical expansion continues here; her harmonic vocabulary expanding, her rhythm experiments startling on first hearing. Lyrics that flew above her contemporaries’ more pedestrian narrative - more personal and more literary. An underappreciated gem containing all these attributes: the sadly neglected “Electricity

      Incredible sounding LP, with Joni's voice 'right-there' in front of you & her piano spacious and fidelious in nice wide stereo. Her band is also recorded beautifully, with a realistic immediacy that sounds so 'live' it's ridiculous. Amazing...
