- When Joni met Jaco, beautiful music ensued! This is one of 4 songs on Joni's 1976 album "Hejira" on which Jaco played bass. I previously reacted to "Refuge of the roads" which also featured an hypnotic bass line from Jaco.
Here is a link to the original live performance in Santa Barbara in 1979, also featuring Pat Metheny on lead guitar:
• Joni Mitchell - Coyote...
This version was included in Joni's 1979 live album "Shadows and Light," but it is worth listening to the original studio recording in which Jaco overdubs multiple bass parts. What a genius!
By the way, here is a link to the column I wrote a number of years ago about "My Top 40" albums.

I have now updated my original Top 40 column to a Top 50 on Substack:

T&his is really GREAT! Thanx 4 sharing!
Great reaction! My all time favourite Joni track (and I'm a big fan of Shadows and Light) is actually Don Juan's Restless Daughter - the track - which I take to be a Canadian's take on the US of A; and Jaco is superb throughout that track too...
Jaco also played with Weather Report.
Long time Joni fan. Hejira is a unique and innovative album. I personally love 'Amelia from it.
I enjoyed your reaction til you said Joni used men as men have done to women for years. It's possible she did, but we do not know that. As far as I can see, she dated single men, usually creative types and fellow musicians, who shared her passions. She's been married twice, once to a dominating man, had a unplanned child, married a music producer who worked with her. I see her as being very honest with her partners... ie. Graham Nash who wanted to marry her. and cocaine, yikes. Hejira is a journey, a travel, life on the road. She took a long rod trip which is what this album is all about.
Anyway, love your passion for Joni, a true artist.
Yes, I thought I might raise a few hackles with that comment! Sometimes us old guys just aren’t very politically correct! In this song she saying she has no regrets about having an affair with a married man. Isn’t it a case of a woman celebrating doing what men have always done, or am I might just digging myself a deeper hole?
