Book Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is a songwriter, singer, musician, poet and painter. Her output of 20 albums over 30 years is widely regarded as one of the most significant and consistent collections of work by any artist of her generation. Her unique interpretation of divergent styles creates an intriguing, often unclassifiable musical landscape, captivating music lovers and keeping pundits guessing.

Joni has a seemingly endless supply of creative energy; her melodies surprise and delight, her lyrics are often downright brilliant. Her voice is an ever-evolving instrument touching many emotional bases, and her reservoir of over 50 guitar tunings makes her a rare bird as a guitarist and composer of music.

Singer-songwriters as different as Tori Amos, Seal, Annie Lennox and Prince cite Joni as an influence; Other respected artists such as Sarah Mclachlan and Shawn Colvin have also been inspired by her music. Even Madonna said recently that the album "COURT & SPARK" was a favorite of hers while in high school. These musicians acknowledge a great debt to Joni. There would certainly be fewer avenues for their talents today if Joni hadn't helped keep the doors open at clubs and halls during the 1960's and 70's by giving emotionally moving concerts to ever expanding audiences.

When music archivist Wally Breese began surfing the Web, he searched in vain for a comprehensive Joni Mitchell website, finding only an isolated picture here, a short mention there… but no center for information on her career. He found that the few available online items were "poorly constructed, had inaccurate information, and certainly were not designed with any artistry in mind." Feeling that Joni deserved better treatment, Wally took matters into his own hands. He started posting highlights from his extensive archives along with original content, and JoniMitchell.com went live in August of 1995.

Dive in and celebrate the music, art, and life of Joni Mitchell.
