Description
Joni Mitchell's story is one of an artist who defied expectations. A self-taught musician and brilliant bandleader, Mitchell's music captivated audiences with its perceptive language and naked emotion. Born out of her life, loves, complaints, and prophecies, her lyrics continue to endure as timeless favorites. From her early days as a folk musician in the 1960s to her key role in the Laurel Canyon music scene of the 1970s, Mitchell's music spoke resonantly to and for audiences across the country. Despite never wanting to be a pop star, she went on to release album after album, each distinctly experimental and challenging. Her influence on generations of singer-songwriters is undeniable, with artists such as Prince and Björk citing her as a key inspiration. This biography tells the remarkable, heart-wrenching story of how Mitchell became a superstar of folk music, and the enduring legacy she left on American music.
