Joni Mitchell is one of those icons of the Sixties who keeps coming up in shuffle mode on my iPod during my walks to work. Joni, along with, say, Neil Young and k.d. lang, have to be among Canada's great gifts to the world. While this is not my single favorite (there are so many) Joni tune, it has popped up twice now in the last day and always brings back lots of memories; from 1970:
If you ever get a chance to see her American Masters PBS TV documentary (there's a DVD), go for it. And check out some of Joni's later jazz collaborations. Her voice deepened over time, and later on she famously has said that her young voice sounded "like she was on helium".
