One of the great songwriters of our time. She is being inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame tonight.
She also does some fabulous guitar playing with her unusual tunings.
You may be familiar with songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" and "A Case of You". An album of hers that I particularly love is "Hejira", with Jaco Pastorius on bass. Fabulous stuff. She has the kind of depth in her lyrics and music that you seldom see these days.

For a good introduction to Joni Mitchell, go no further than the almighty WikiPedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell
Many people just don't realize how good this lady really is. It is for a reason that quite a few accomplished artists like Prince, Zeppelin, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Diana Krall, Ani Difranco and Janet Jackson, just to name a few, list her as a big influence.
