Joni Mitchell:

Ladies of The Canyon:(1970)

Blue:(1971)

Court And Spark:(1974)

Miles of Aisles:(1974)

The Hissing of Summer Lawns:(1975)

Hejira:(1976)

No one has ever sounded or written quite like Joni Mitchell. In fact, she is kind of a genre unto herself. Talk about an artist of vision. Growing up, my mother was a fan, particularly of Court and Spark, so I heard that album a lot. Hejira is one of my favorites. Right now, check out Coyote or Black Crow. Blue! The confessional of the personal on that record is something very few artists have come close to achieving. Needless to say, I find something comforting in the work of Joni Mitchell.
