It's always important to put things in their historical perspective. This album was released in February, 1971. It was in a sense the Sgt. Pepper of the pop folk of the early 70s. It had been preceded the year before by James Taylor's Fire and Rain, which helped kick off a more personal, a more downsizing of popular music at the time. It was a reflective period. The Beatles had broken up acrimoniously, Hendrix and Joplin had died, and there was a burned out feeling to the whole hippie vibe. The line "Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?" was especially resonant. The Allman Brothers 'Midnight Rider', and Cat Stevens 'Morning Has Broken' were mellower songs with a wistfulness underneath.
I can't listen to 'It's Too Late' without thinking of the breakup with my 16-year-old girlfriend. The whole singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell tone of that time was quite popular, and seemed a natural reaction to the bombast of rock and roll in the late 60s and the aftermath. You could say that the Stones sort of capstoned the era with Angie, a reflective song that touched a chord and was a worldwide smash, from an equally reflective album, Goats Head Soup.

Hmm, I was so young at the time that things were really going on behind my back, so to speak. As has been clarified above, this album is in fact part of some larger scheme, the fatigue thing after the roaring 60s. I wonder if a 15 year old understood that this was reason for buying it at the time. If so, she would have to be a very mature young woman. Yeah, I can see it all clearly now, John Lennon`s Imagine, Don McLean`s American Pie, James Taylor`s Sweet Baby James, The Rolling Stones` Goat`s Head Soup, -all parts of a coming down.

King used to have this great trick on a lot of her '60s tunes that was brilliant.
If the tune was in A, the bass would drop to a G while the rest of the band stayed on A.
Or it would reverse: The band dropped to a G while the bass stayed on A.
Noting new, but it sounded great.

I`m not getting this. I think it`s highly overrated. It`s full of fillers. What where you people thinking in the early 70s? Is this it? Be my guest! I think music should be a widescreen experience, just like Pink Floyd`s "Another Brick In The Wall Part Two", geddit? This music just leaves me cold. Was this album really the soundtrack for home alone parties in the early 70s?
