>From the NARAS press release: Five time GRAMMY Award-winner Joni Mitchell is one of the finest singers/songwriters of her generation. Born in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada, Mitchell emerged from New York's folk circuit in 1967 and became known for her deeply personal songs and engaging performances. That same year she signed with Reprise and her first, self-titled album co-produced by David Crosby was released shortly after. An innovative and experimental artist, Mitchell's music has evolved from its early folk roots to embrace pop, rock, jazz, and multi-cultural world music, resulting in a creative legacy which has paved the way for countless contemporary performers. In addition to being a remarkable songwriter and recording artist, with hits like "Both Sides Now," "Help Me," "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Woodstock," Mitchell also has produced or co-produced all of her albums since her debut and even created the artwork for each of her album covers. Her album Blue was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 1999.
