Calling out to the Golden State today ✨
In October 1970, Joni performed “California” on the Johnny Cash Show, eight months before the release of ‘Blue.’
Elliot Roberts accepted an invitation to the Cafe Au Go Go on October 26, 1967 to watch a young Joni Mitchell open for Ian & Sylvia and Howard Hesseman. It was the beginning of a partnership. He soon became her manager, and a few months later, she would sign her first record contract with Reprise Records.
Performance of “Little Green” live at Cafe Au Go Go as featured in ‘Village Voices,’ broadcast in 1991.
“Mitchell's words are honed by a life dedicated to the notion that songs, like all great art, can illuminate deeper truths.” John Milward, Rolling Stone, 1994.
Diving deep into ‘Turbulent Indigo,’ on its 32nd anniversary today. Chalk full of twists and turns, this album would earn Joni the Grammy Award for Best Pop Album in 1996.
