Well, Joni is like her own worst enemy, so I'm not surprised that her comeback album did not exactly fly off the shelves. Plus... it wasn't very good IMHO . James Taylor also got sucked onto that label too... and I think his last couple of albums were pretty much ignored. For a while there I was thinking that HearMusic would be the savior of music... where all of the musical greats would finally have a place to call home and produce the albums that they want to produce. Alas... it was just too good to be true...
