Night Ride Home is Joni Mitchell's 1991 album and her last for Geffen Records. It is quite introspective and personal with an intimate, late-night sort of feel. Highlights include "Cherokee Louise" about a childhood friend who suffered sexual abuse, "The Windfall (Everything For Nothing)" about a maid who tried to sue Mitchell, and the retrospective single release "Come in from the Cold" about childhood and middle age. The title song "Night Ride Home" was inspired by a moonlit night in Hawaii. [1]
