Traveling: On The Path Of Joni Mitchell Book Review

Rock n Roll Book and Documentary Reviews: Rock Talk... ·

And because of the unique storytelling and interesting personal path author Ann Powers took to tell the story, I found myself engaged throughout. This is not a Joni Mitchell biography. This is the life of Mitchell questioned, examined, and presented with the myriad of avenues Joni Mitchell and author Ann Powers took throughout their lives.
