Appreciation: Joni Mitchell

 

An hour’s selection – a complete joy to discover and share – of Joni Mitchell avoiding the ‘hits’ and instead dipping across albums and decades to reveal some astonishing inventiveness and singularity. Absent: material from the late 70s to early 90s, where selector Mark Amery, found very little that reached the standard in this hour. A second hour is planned.
