About this listen

When singer, musician, and broadcast journalist Malka Marom had the opportunity to interview Joni Mitchell in 1973, she was eager to reconnect with the performer that she'd first met late one night in 1966 at a Yorkville coffeehouse. More conversations followed over the next four decades of friendship, and it was only after Joni and Malka completed their last recorded interview, in 2012, that Malka discovered the heart of their discussions: the creative process.

In Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words, Joni and Malka follow this thread through seven decades of life and art, discussing the influence of Joni's childhood, love and loss, playing dives and huge festivals, acclaim and criticism, poverty and affluence, glamorous triumphs and tragic mistakes.

"Mitchell's story will resonate on a universal level, just as her timeless music has already done." ( Library Journal)

Thank you for the writing, the narration and for bringing the story of such a wonderful artist to light.

This takes a little sticking with at first but definitely becomes more insightful as we learn JMs experiences through her life. There is a lot of lyric reading by Malka, but I guess this gives a back story. JM is a private individual whose life we all want to pick apart as she is so adored by many. I am glad I read this book!

An insight!

A look, an insight into the real Joni Mitchell. A great listen. The names back and forth get a bit tedious, but a minor irritation.

A book that flows

This is a really enjoyable set of three interviews between Joni and Malka, a respectful and intelligent musician and journalist, who clearly had the confidence of this private artist. Because of the standard of questions asked, these interviews give a fascinating insight into Joni's creative process and inner life. They each take place some years apart. I loved the narrator - she allowed you to hear her as both Joni and Malka, and was subtle in her expression. You kind of forget you're not hearing the two women themselves speaking - just what you want!

Fascinating

Enjoyed this, once I'd got used to the narrator playing the part of Malka and Joni.
