The Hissing of Summer Lawns

Description

Seventh studio album by the acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter, originally released in 1975. Mitchell went into the studio in early 1975 to record acoustic demos of some songs that she had written since the ‘Court and Spark’ tour. A few months later she recorded versions of the tunes with her band. Her musical interests were now diverging from both the folk and the pop scene of the era, toward less structured, more jazz-inspired pieces, with a wider range of instruments.
