Joni Mitchell radio profile starts tonight

Joni Mitchell continues her English media campaign with the first of a two-part documentary on BBC Radio 2 at 2030 tonight. She’s promoting her forthcoming album, Shine.

Mitchell’s music, especially the later work she thinks is undervalued, is inspirational. More than can be said for dispiriting recent interviews in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Word mag, after Elvis Costello’s extensive Mitchell interview in Vanity Fair three years ago.

Roberta Joan: your magnificent music – especially the post-Hejira albums - speaks for itself. Let it.
