Mitchell's second album, like her first, focuses almost exclusively on her acoustic guitar and voice. though the sound is similar to her debut recording, there's a lot of progression evident in the songwriting here. Mitchell comes across as the quintessential folk poet, highly literate, guardedly emotional, somewhat collegiate, but full of enough talent and idiosyncrasy to pull listeners into her web. Both Sides Now", a beautiful low-key anthem of disillusionment from which the album's title is derived, became something of an anthem for the Woodstock set. Other, less well-known tunes like "That Song About the Midway" and the mysterious-sounding "Roses Blue" make just as much of an impression. the joyous "Chelsea Morning" would eventually provide president Clinton with a name for his daughter (even if he did think Judy Collins wrote the song).
