  • Released around the time that Seattle's grunge movement was exploding in full-blown angst, NIGHT RIDE HOME boasts a lost carnival of characters that wander through, seeming especially poignant. In the '60s when another angry, lost generation reigned, Mitchell's painterly portraits reflected the troubled times. More than two decades later, her songs mirror the mood swings of an aging generation no more sure of their footsteps than they were in their youth.
  • A quiet, restless album that evokes the electric stillness before a summer storm, NIGHT RIDE HOME looks back to Mitchell's jazzier '70s endeavors like COURT AND SPARK. Despite the album's softer turn, the fey warble of alto sax is not nearly as prominent (or intrusive) as on Mitchell's 1998 TAMING THE TIGER. "Come In From the Cold" is one of Mitchell's finest songs, a lilting memory play of adolescence, desire and mature revelation. The title track is a sultry love song that travels down a dark, back road, whereas "Nothing Can Be Done," featuring David Baerwald on vocals, is a churning acceptance of an affair gone sour. NIGHT RIDE HOME eloquently resurrects the past, but never hesitates to embrace the future.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (3/21/91) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "..contains a handful of Mitchell's prettiest melodies in years. And in her lyrics she's as acute as ever....a convincing demonstration of her continuing validity as an artist."

Entertainment Weekly (3/1/91) - "..From a musical standpoint, it's the most graceful record she's ever made...blends varied musical styles from every phase of her career." - Rating: A

Down Beat (6/91) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good - "..another strong outing by one of pop's most thoughtful and articulate artists."

Musician (3/91) - "Tune for tune, it's her most listenable album in a decade."

Wall Street Journal (4/3/91) - "..shows she's still growing, still reaching and still succeeding..."Night Ride Home" is a very special recording. A mature work, it casts Mitchell as surveying the landscape of middle age... intensely delivered over simple arrangements; has the hypnotic feel of "Hejira."
