TRAVELING On the Path of Joni Mitchell

In this highly personal biography, a music journalist and student of the music scene from the 1960s to the present describes the life of the iconic singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Powers rejects the usual boundaries between writer and biographical subject, making her own life as a Mitchell fan an essential part of the story. Narrator Hillary Huber approaches this stirring biography with her usual attention to vocal detail and flow. She wisely performs in a tone of documentary objectivity that keeps her own distinct personality separate from the rowdy dynamic between the author and her subject. Huber's vocal restraint illuminates the author's expertise on Mitchell's work, personal life, and worldview. T.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
