# Joni Mitchell (@joni-mitchell)

Joni Mitchell was a Canadian-American songwriter, singer, instrumentalist, and visual artist. The work is associated with unusual guitar tunings, harmonically rich songwriting, precise imagery, and movement between folk, rock, and jazz. Major examples include Blue, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, and collaborations with jazz musicians. A balanced account also considers her expansion of the singer-songwriter form and insistence on artistic independence.
