Joni Mitchell: 2nd Best NA Songwriter
I was going to place Joni Mitchell number two behind Dylan in the other thread, but she’s a Canadian, so technically she doesn’t fit in there. Let’s just say she’s the second best songwriter in North America.

Aaaaahhhhhhh !
Joni Mitchell is a great big dilemma to me. I think she is a SUPERB songwriter, world class. However, i simply cannot stand her voice. To high, whiny and screechy. So i don't listen to her.
And i've tried. i bought two compilations , Hits and Misses. And i bought Hejira.
And this is how sad i am, i've been known to take the booklets out and just read her lyrics (Furry Sings The Blues ! How wonderful that lyric is, indeed that full album). It's all a bit of a shame really but i've heard some wonderful singers do her songs over the years . Tom Rush with The Circle Game is an all time favourite track.
Also, the later version of Both Sides Now , with her "new" old and rough voice, much better !
She should do a full double album of all her best songs with her new voice !
