	American Masters . Joni Mitchell . Filmmaker Interview \| PBS
		We know about Joni Mitchell and care about knowing more about her because she has created an extraordinary body of work of great meaning to a lot of people, so I felt strongly that the work itself should be the centerpiece of the film.
		Because Joni is a poet and composer whose songs draw on her own life to a large degree, whose imagery and chordal structures are impressionistic and whose work represents a musical and thematic journey, I tried to bring those elements to the film poetry, impressionistic images, lyricism and story telling through music.
		Joni put herself out there not knowing how her new work would be received, and she took the blows that came with it.

		Mitchell, who was at the time studying yoga, later said her yoga teacher sent her to a psychic dietician who hardly allowed her to eat anything.

	Joni Mitchell: Travelogue - PopMatters Music Review
		Joni Mitchell is unquestionably one of the finest popular songwriters of the last half-century, and takes her rightful place with Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and a handful of others as a highly incisive observer of her generation's struggles and triumphs.
		Mitchell is often referred to as a folk/rock artists or a folkie or some other equally idiotic term, despite the fact that the folkie element in her music had pretty much run its course by the time she recorded her third album, Ladies of the Canyon.
		Mitchell was written off by radio and record labels and classified by many as a jazz artist, which is just as misguided as labeling her a folk artist.

	American Masters . Joni Mitchell \| PBS
		The remarkable and profound stylistic changes that Joni Mitchell has gone through are, in a real and poetic sense, a reliving of the journey of Western culture from the idealism of the classical-romantic tradition into the "darkness of our Modern age".
		Joni Mitchell, whose original artistic vision rested squarely within that classic idealism found, as others have, a totally new energy in the Modern age that has nothing to do with either classicism or romanticism.
		Joni Mitchell's first album Song to a Seagull was evidence of a musical style still connected to classical ideals of beauty.

		Joni Mitchell's boldness in experimenting on, rather than simply re-creating, her most successful albums, Blue (1971) and Court and Spark (1974), has led to a career filled with groundbreaking albums.
		Mitchell, nee Roberta Joan Anderson, was born on November 7, 1943, in Fort McLeod in Alberta, Canada.
		Mitchell can be very reclusive; yet she is also, by her own admission, a real ham and loves to get up and "wreck [her] stockings in some jukebox dive." She rarely gives interviews; when she does, she is open and honest, and it seems she loves to talk.

		Mitchell is primarily known as a folk singer, but she's always had a rock and roll heart as she shows most particularly on "Big Yellow Taxi" (recently remade to excellent effect by The Counting Crows), the tropical paradise evoking "Carey" and the sweet love song "Help Me" that was one of her biggest hits.
		Mitchell's rejection of the current music industry, comparing it to a cesspool, and claiming to never release music ever again on track makes the individual feel even more fervent about purchasing this collection as it is an epic documentation of her art and force.
		Mitchell's had her share of clunkers over the years, but like the other great ones, even her failures are interesting and at her worst she's still better than almost everyone else at their best.

	Big Yellow Taxi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Mitchell's playful closing lyrics has made the song the most identifiable in her repetoir, still receiving significant airplay in Canada.

		Mitchell has produced all of her albums since her debut and, an accomplished painter, created the artwork for each of her album covers.

		Joni Mitchell was already an acclaimed songwriter by the time she recorded her first album.
		Joni Mitchell came out of the early-to-mid-60s folk scene, but her music defies categories such as folk, rock, folk-rock, etc. (Great music is certainly more than a categorical phenomenon.) "Song To A Seagull" (1968) was her debut, but in this case, debut by no means spells beginner.
		Joni's a great storyteller and the characters are portrayed with a strong sense of reality: songs about common relationships, people we may have met, emotions we may feel at times or thoughts we may have once pondered.

	Joni Mitchell St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		In 1968,; Mitchell released an album of her own, simply entitled Joni Mitchell (it is often referred to as Song to a Seagull).
		Mitchell's second 1975 album, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, is a new masterpiece, even though Rolling Stone labeled it "Worst Album of the Year." The result of the singer's growing interest in jazz and world music (one track features the Burundi Drummers), the album shows Mitchell at her least introspective.
		In 1998, Mitchell embarked on a brief United States tour with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison: the concerts were unique in that they brought together three of the true giants in the history of popular music.

		"Joni is incredibly innovative in terms of her song structure and harmonics," explained McGill music professor Daniel Levitin, a moderator at the Mitchell symposium.
		Mitchell has borrowed from so many different cultures and blended so many styles it is simply unfair to place her music in a single category.
