  • Canadian musician, songwriter, and painterBorn November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada.Inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (Performer) in 1997.Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in her native Western Canada and then busking on the streets of Toronto. In the mid-1960s she left for New York City and its folk music scene, recording her debut album in 1968 and achieving fame first as a songwriter (%22Urge for Going%22, %22Chelsea Morning%22, %22Both Sides, Now%22, %22Woodstock%22) and then as a singer in her own right. Blue, her starkly personal 1971 album, was voted #30 in Rolling Stone magazine's %22500 Greatest Albums of All Time%22 list of 2003. Mitchell also had pop hits such as %22Big Yellow Taxi%22, %22Free Man in Paris%22, and %22Help Me%22, the last two from 1974's best-selling Court and Spark.Mitchell's distinctive harmonic guitar style, and piano arrangements all grew more complex through the 1970s as she was deeply influenced by jazz, melding it with pop, folk and rock on experimental albums like 1976's Hejira. She worked closely with jazz greats including Pat Metheny, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and on a 1979 record released after his death, Charles Mingus. From the 1980s on, Mitchell reduced her recording and touring schedule but turned again toward pop, making greater use of synthesizers and direct political protest in her lyrics, which often tackled social and environmental themes alongside romantic and emotional ones.Mitchell is also a visual artist. She created the artwork for each of her albums, and in 2000 described herself as a %22painter derailed by circumstance.%22 Mitchell stopped recording over the last several years, focusing more attention on painting, but in 2007 she released Shine, her first album of new songs in nine years.See [l285067]

  • Roberta Joan %22Joni%22 Mitchell, CC (nĂ©e Anderson; born November 7, 1943) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965, she moved to the United States and began touring. Some of her original songs (%22Urge for Going%22, %22Chelsea Morning%22, %22Both Sides, Now%22, %22The Circle Game%22) were covered by folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her debut album in 1968.Settling in Southern California, Mitchell, with popular songs like %22Big Yellow Taxi%22 and %22Woodstock%22, helped define an era and a generation. Her 1971 recording Blue was rated the 30th best album ever made in Rolling Stone's list of the %22500 Greatest Albums of All Time%22. Mitchell switched labels and began moving toward jazz rhythms by way of lush pop textures on 1974's Court and Spark, her best-selling LP, featuring the radio hits %22Help Me%22 and %22Free Man in Paris%22.Her wide-ranging contralto vocals and distinctive open-tuned guitar and piano compositions grew more harmonically and rhythmically complex as she explored jazz, melding it with influences of rock and roll, R&B, classical music, and non-western beats. In the late 1970s, she began working closely with noted jazz musicians, among them Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, and Charles Mingus, who asked her to collaborate on his final recordings. She turned again toward pop, embraced electronic music, and engaged in political protest.She is the sole record producer credited on most of her albums, including all her work in the 1970s. With roots in visual art, she has designed her own album artwork throughout her career. 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 %22painter derailed by circumstance%22.Mitchell has deeply influenced fellow musicians in a diverse range of genres, and her work is highly respected by critics. AllMusic said, %22When the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century%22, and Rolling Stone called her %22one of the greatest songwriters ever%22. Her lyrics are noted for their developed poetics, addressing social and environmental ideals alongside personal feelings of romantic longing, confusion, disillusion, and joy.
