Joni Mitchell

Musician

Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist and painter, widely influential from the late 1960s onward. Known for intimate songwriting (Blue), jazz-inflected work (Hejira, Mingus), distinctive open-guitar tunings and painted album covers.

Born Roberta Joan Anderson (1943). Composer, singer, guitarist and visual artist. Collaborated with jazz musicians such as Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock; acclaimed albums include Blue (1971), Court and Spark (1974) and Hejira (1976).

DeBaser reviews treat Joni Mitchell as a restless, genre-defying singer-songwriter and painter. Critics praise landmark albums like Blue, Hejira and Court and Spark, and note her jazz collaborations and evolving voice. Some late-period records divide opinion but are still valued for craft and statement.

For:Fans of singer-songwriters, listeners who enjoy folk-jazz crossovers and album-focused critics
