A Joni Mitchell Playlist

Oh god, this playlist is SO PERFECT. It’s exactly the task I needed. In making it (and, really, in writing these blogs throughout the week of Joni), I have been falling for Joni’s storytelling and guitar and arrangements all over again. Making a playlist of my favorites is the perfect way to end this celebration of her because it basically forced me to listen to every Joni track for two straight days to assess what belonged on my playlist. Okay, it didn’t FORCE me, per say. Most people would not probably have spent two straight days deep in this discography just to make a playlist for a blog nobody reads. Anyhow, playlist….
