Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The compelling character portraits on this 1976 LP (a #13 hit) are finely detailed with Joni's yearning melodies and the sensitive bass of Jaco Pastorius. The wonderful title tune joins Amelia; Coyote; Refuge of the Road, and more!
Amazon.com
After the expanded instrumental scale and sonic experimentation of Court & Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Joni Mitchell reverses that flow for the more intimate, interior music on Hejira, which retracts the arranging style to focus on Mitchell's distinctive acoustic guitar and piano, and the brilliant, lyrical bass fantasias of fretless bass innovator Jaco Pastorius. Known for his furious, sometimes rococo figures beneath the music of Weather Report, Pastorius is tamed by Mitchell's cooler, more deliberate ballads: these meditations coax a far gentler, subdued lyricism from Pastorius, whose intricate bass counterpoints Mitchell's coolly elegant singing, especially on the sublime "Amelia," which transforms the mystery of Amelia Earheart into a parable of both feminism and romantic self-discovery. This isn't Mitchell at her most obviously ambitious, yet the depth of feeling, poetic reach, and musical confidence make this among the finest works in a very fine canon. --Sam Sutherland

As much as I enjoy compact Disks, it was frustrating to try to see on the insert who played on this album along with Ms. Mitchell. They are not included in any place easy to read so I just wanted to add there names for those interested. More than three musicians were involved making this album but I don't see them listed anywhere here so I've included them.
Joni Mitchell — vocals, guitars, electric guitars
Larry Carlton — electric guitar on "Amelia," "A Strange Boy," and "Black Crow"; acoustic guitar on "Blue Motel Room"
John Guerin — drums on "Furry Sings the Blues," "Song for Sharon," "Blue Motel Room," and "Refuge of the Roads"
Jaco Pastorius — bass on "Coyote," "Hejira," "Black Crow," and "Refuge of the Roads"
Bobbye Hall — percussion on "Coyote," "A Strange Boy," and "Hejira"
Max Bennett — bass on "Furry Sings the Blues" and "Song for Sharon"
Chuck Findley, Tom Scott — horns on "Refuge of the Roads"
Chuck Domanico — bass on "Blue Motel Room"
Victor Feldman — vibraphone on "Amelia"
Abe Most — clarinet on "Hejira"
Neil Young — harmonica on "Furry Sings the Blues"
Wonderful Album-Most Highly Recommended.
