About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The album is a long overdue anthology of one of Canada's most celebrated ex-pats, Joni Mitchell. She sanctioned the release only on the condition that she be allowed to compile companion album Misses. While the 15-strong Hits focuses on the her earlier folk-pop crossover successes, many made famous initially by others ("Both Sides Now," "Woodstock," "The Circle Game"), Misses is a personal cross section of her more challenging early material and more recent recordings -- the riveting "The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey" from Mingus is especially enlightening. One should not pick up one disc without the other. With the flood of box sets released in recent years for far less deserving artists, it's odd that Reprise didn't go all out and make this a more elaborate tribute. Roch Parisien, All Music Guide

February 01, 2008: Joni had one of the best voices of any female recording artist in the 1970's. She doesn't, however, have a lot of great songs. I like "Big Yellow Taxi," "Woodstock," "Carey," "Free Man in Paris" and "Chelsea Morning." The other songs I didn't care for. Play the samples and decide for yourself. I also wish she would have just used her piano on "Woodstock" instead of an organ. The version she did at the "Isle of Wright" concert in 1970 with the piano is the best.

June 14, 2003: I really love this CD. Hits has all the best of Joni Mitchell. All her songs are so personable but fun to listen to and sing along to. I love every song from her early songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" & "The Circle Game" to her Jazzier songs like "Raised on Robbery" & "Help Me." My personal favorite, "Free Man in Paris." So whatever style of Joni's music you like, you'll love this CD.
