About Joni Mitchell
She began her career in the 1960s folk music scene and became known for personal lyrics and unusual song structures that later mixed pop, jazz, rock and other styles. In 2002 Rolling Stone called her one of the greatest songwriters, and a 2011 AllMusic biography said she may be the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century.
