Description

This immersive and expansive collection of interviews spans Mitchell's entire career

Joni Mitchell was a solidly middle-class bohemian; an anti-feminist who loved men but scorned free love; a female warrior taking on the male music establishment. She was both the party girl with torn stockings and the sensitive soul. Her earthy, poetic lyrics and the unusual melodic intervals traced by that lissome voice earned her the status of a pop legend.Joni on Joniis a chronologically arranged anthology of Mitchell's most illuminating interviews, spanning the years 1966 to 2014. Included are revealing pieces from her early years in Canada and Detroit, along with influential articles such as Cameron Crowe'sRolling Stonepiece. Interspersed throughout are key quotes from dozens of additional Q&As. Together, this material paints a revealing picture of the artist bragging and scornful, philosophical and deep, but also a beguiling flirt.
