Reviews
Update:I own this book now - here is what it is. Paperback, with cutout cover. Published by Charles Hanson. I was mistaken. The albums covered are from "Song to a Seagull" to "Blue". It seems to be complete for those albums. It is certainly a gem in that there are color photos of Joni in Laurel Canyon, along with some black and whites of concerts and with friends. This book also contains guitar tabs, along with the piano and vocal chart. Be advised that Joni uses her own unique tunings when she plays, so the tabs are somewhat simplified.Original Review:I just wanted to add a note here for those looking for this book. I owned it once, and wish I still had it. It contained all of the sheet music from the albums, "Song to a Seagull" through "Court and Spark". The only currently available folio containing any of this material is "Anthology", which is mighty thin for a true musician/music lover. Her newer albums are also available in complete album folios. "Complete" has some artwork from the albums, photographs, and nicely typeset charts. I believe it contained guitar tablature, along with vocal and piano accompaniment. It is a shame to have it out of print, as her music is a historical record, in many ways.
