About Joni Mitchell in brief
Joni Mitchell is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Her songs often reflect social and environmental ideals as well as her feelings about romance, confusion, disillusionment, and joy.

Mitchell is the sole producer credited on most of her albums, including all her work in the 1970s. A blunt critic of the music industry, she quit touring and released her 17th, and reportedly last, album of original songs in 2007. She describes herself as a \”painter derailed by circumstance\”.
