Joni Mitchell
Roberta Joan "Joni" Mitchell (née Anderson; born November 7, 1943) is a Canadian singer-songwriter.
Drawing from folk, pop, rock, and jazz, Mitchell's songs often reflect social and environmental ideals as well as her feelings about romance, confusion, disillusionment, and joy.
She has received many accolades, including nine Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
"Rolling Stone" called her "one of the greatest songwriters ever", and AllMusic has stated, "When the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century".
Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and throughout western Canada, before busking in the streets and nightclubs of Toronto, Ontario.
In 1965, she moved to the United States and began touring.
Some of her original songs ("Urge for GoingChelsea MorningBoth Sides, NowThe Circle Game") were covered by other folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her debut album, "Song to a Seagull", in 1968.
Settling in Southern California, Mitchell, with popular songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Woodstock", helped define an era and a generation.
Her 1971 album "Blue" is often cited as one of the best albums of all time; it was rated the 30th best album ever made in "Rolling Stone"s list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
In 2000, "The New York Times" chose "Blue" as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music".
In 2017, NPR ranked "Blue" number 1 on a list of Greatest Albums Made By Women.
Mitchell's fifth album, "For the Roses", was released in 1972.
She then switched labels and began exploring more jazz-influenced melodic ideas, by way of lush pop textures, on 1974's "Court and Spark", which featured the radio hits
"Help Me" and "Free Man in Paris" and became her best-selling album.
Around 1975, Mitchell's vocal range began to shift from mezzo-soprano to more of a wide-ranging contralto.
Her distinctive piano and open-tuned guitar compositions also grew more harmonically and rhythmically complex as she explored jazz, melding it with influences of rock and roll, R&B, classical music and non-western beats.
In the late 1970s, she began working closely with noted jazz musicians, among them
Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, as well as Charles Mingus, who asked her to collaborate on his final recordings.
She later turned again toward pop, embraced electronic music, and engaged in political protest.
In 2002, she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards.
Mitchell is the sole producer credited on most of her albums, including all her work in the 1970s.
A blunt critic of the music industry
, she quit touring and released her 17th, and reportedly last, album of original songs in 2007.
With roots in visual art, Mitchell has designed most of her own album covers.
She describes herself as a "painter derailed by circumstance".
Walter Robinson (composer)
Walter Robinson is an African American composer of the late 20th century.
He is most notable for his 1977 song" Harriet Tubman", which has been recorded by folk musicians such as Holly Near, John McCutcheon, and others.
He is also the composer of several operas.
Coyote (song)
"Coyote" is the opening song from Joni Mitchell's 1976 album "Hejira" and also the album's first single.
Though the song had been introduced (in embryonic form) on the tour to support 1975's "The Hissing of Summer LawnsCoyote" was a significant musical departure: where "Hissing" was ornate with pianos, layered vocals and percussion, "Coyote" was stripped down to electric and acoustic guitars and a fretless bass guitar played by virtuoso Jaco Pastorius.
In a sense, this was similar to Mitchell's early albums, but the sound was extremely spacious, even repetitive, with the verses made much longer and more like a long story.
Thus, although this is one of the faster-tempo songs on "Hejira", it still lasts for an even five minutes.
Mitchell's guitar itself was in an unusual (low to high) C-G-D-F-C-E tuning (the same as in the song "Ladies of the Canyon") - presumably a type of open tuning designed to play a seventh, ninth, or even eleventh chord.
Lyrically, "Coyote" is concerned with the difficulty of establishing any sort of connection with people who come from "different sets of circumstance" (as the song has it).
In particular it describes an encounter (which turns into a one-night stand) between the narrator (possibly meant to be Mitchell herself as there is a reference in the lyrics to her coming home from the studio) and "Coyote", a ranch worker.
In Chris O'Dell's 2009 autobiography "Miss O'Dell" she details an affair she had with married playwright Sam Shepard and states that Shepard then cheated on her with Joni Mitchell.
O'Dell claims that "Coyote" is written about Sam Shepard.
Coyote represents nature contrasted with the narrator's big city (presumably LA) life where "pills and powders" are necessary to "get them through this passion play".
The aforementioned line is also a reference to Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue concert tour, which Mitchell was a part of in the fall of 1975.
During a performance of the song by Mitchell in the film , Roger McGuinn of the Byrds states that, “Joni wrote this song about this tour and on this tour and for this tour,” to which she does not protest.
A version of "Coyote" was performed by Mitchell with The Band for the concert movie "The Last Waltz" and is included on the soundtrack.
The song was also covered by Spirit of the West on the 1992 Mitchell tribute album "Back to the Garden".
