Joan’s 1976 self-titled A&M LP was her debut on the U.S. charts—but Whatever’s for Us (’72) was her first album, recorded near Paris and in London and released by the Cube label. Joan co-wrote these songs with Pam Nestor; as she would continue to do after rising to fame, she jumps from style to style on this early gem: Visionary Mountains (later covered by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band); City Girl; My Family; Child Star; Gave It a Try; Alice; Mean Old Man, and more. Includes two bonus 1973 single sides! Esoteric.
