Oh, Joni!

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Joni Mitchell. After having an extensive conversation about music with my dad, (whose musical knowledge of the 70-80s classic rock is so vast, its astounding. Im jealous)he told me to listen to her song, "Coyote." I haven't listened to anything outside of Blue but I found "For the Roses" the release after "Blue" and I think I have a major crush on this woman.

That song is almost narrative, lyrical genius. Telling story through song is hard, a lot harder than most people realize. I know I'm a sucker for singer/songwriter, so I'll get off the soapbox, but if you've never listened to her, I highly suggest you do.



(and just because im a sucker for bbc performances)
