Joni Mitchell, The Circle Game

Few voices spoke more beautifully and profoundly of their generation than that of Joni Mitchell. While other musicians provided us with music that spoke to the era and the generation that considered the time their own, Mitchell seemed to reach deeper into the psyche and at the same time to reach back to embrace stylistic notions from the growing folk movement but also from Jazz, the blues and many previous eras.

Particularly for young women, but also for young men, listening to Joni Mitchell was a demonstration of a depth of sincerity and character that indicated you were a person of substance as well as emotion.
