Joni MitchellJoni Mitchell's voice is one of a kind, and instantly recognizable. She is also an incredible songwriter and penned "Both Sides Now", "Woodstock", "Big Yellow Taxi" and so many more songs. Her album "Blue" is so amazing. Later in her career she moved more towards Jazz. I'm not as crazy about that work but I admire her willingness to move into a new direction.
