Joni is a trip
Joni Mitchell became one of the absolute best songwriters - in music & lyrics - once she left folk behind and began using jazz musicians to play her complex chords.
Very good video on Rick Beato’s YT channel on “What Makes this Song Great” focused on her song, “Amelia” from her “Hejira” album that features the GREAT Larry Carlton on guitar

Her work with Jaco and Pat Metheney was truly magical.
