Joni Mitchell
uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, July 1970
JONI MITCHELL is a beautiful lady, one who write and sings songs born from the depths of her experience, a word painter who shows us the light and shade of our lives. Joni is modest, her songs gentle, and she has avoided becoming fodder for the publicity relations machine. Instead, by her all to rare concert appearances and her three albums, she has quietly established herself as among the foremost musical talents of today.
