The Hissing of Summer Lawns is the seventh studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, released in November 1975 on Asylum Records. It continues the jazz-rock influence of Mitchell's previous album, Court and Spark, with more unconventional and experimental material. It features backing from members of jazz-rock groups L.A. Express and The Crusaders, with additional contributions from James Taylor, David Crosby, and Graham Nash. It also introduced synthesizers to Mitchell's work for the first time, as well as experimenting with sampling.
