As Joni Mitchell releases her first album of new
material in 10 years ("Shine," September 24),
award-winning producer Paul Ingles hosts "The Emergence
of Joni Mitchell," a two-hour examination of Mitchell,
one of the most heralded songwriters of her time. In
this third installment of his series on the seminal work
of important figures in popular music, Ingles and guest
commentators explore how Joni Mitchell crafted her
artistry and connected with audiences over four decades. |
| Mitchell put
the experience of being a woman and being human on
artful display through her blatantly honest and
confessional lyrics, innovative open guitar tunings and
jazz-inflected vocals. The program focuses on Mitchell's
key releases to illuminate the musicianship of the woman
"Rolling Stone" called "one of rock's most daring and
uncompromising innovators." |
| By mixing
Mitchell's music from these pivotal moments with
informed commentary from musicians, fans, music critics
and archival interviews with Mitchell herself, "The
Emergence of Joni Mitchell" articulates what music
lovers have found so compelling about this thoughtful
and innovative writer and performer. |
