Joni Mitchell

That Carpark song is annoying... but Joni had a way of capturing her era-generation's atmosphere
(They say the Woodstock song captured the vibe completely but she couldnt even get to it unfortunately, so that's pretty skillful songestry)
Joni deploys observational lyrics and a folky-angel voice which evokes in the listener a migrating bird world where you can scan the scenery as you catch a warm air current... So pretty.
She also flirted with Jazz in later parts of her career , not a good move in Yellowhammer's humble opinion , but still some amazing results if you appreciate the art.

Yellowhammer honours Joni !


I have to admit I didnt know she painted too, but apparently she does, often alternating with albums.




What a woman!
