Dissecting The Music of Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of the twentieth century. Yet despite her reputation, influence, and popularity, there has been no detailed appraisal of her musical achievement. In The Music of Joni Mitchell, author Lloyd Whitesell offers the first survey of Mitchell's work, looking at the style, sound and structure in songs like "Woodstock," "A Case of You" and "Help Me."
