Joni Mitchell has to be one of the most inspiring and talented musicians of all time. Some of you may not have heard of her or her music but I recommend you pick up whatever laptop, Iphone, Ipad or device you have sitting next to you and search it. You will never look back. Producing nineteen albums in her successfull career has lead her legacy to be one to remember, and one that proves that even though these generations have past, her music still stayed as gripping as ever. Being described as 'a powerful influence on all artists who embrace diversity, imagination and integrity' won her over ten awards over the years and to say the least she deserves them.
Mitchell's hypnotic and beautiful song writing has influenced numerous artists all around the word, some of these being the legendary Led Zeppelin, Morrissey and Prince. The Rolling Stones magazine even labeled her as 'one of the greatest songwriters of all time'. Her pure voice is one that sticks in your memory and one that sticks in your head after just one listen. Her music drifts between folk -rock and folk-jazz and each song reflects its own individual genre in a talented and quirky way. The gritty yet soothing tone of her voice is one can put you in a trance and leaves you just open to the beauty of the song. Even though this music might be the opposite to what you normally listen to or isn't your cup of tea, Mitchell needs appreciating. So for the sake of reading this blog or just out of curiosity, have a cheeky listen!
