Joni’s first few albums, largely written while she was a teenager, are jaw dropping … I believe it was Stevie Wonder that commented “ how does someone that young ever get to be that deep? “ Crosby’s comments after hearing her singing for the first time described a stage presence that almost felt supernatural, he claimed it pushed him back against the wall…
What an intelligent and aware observer of life and culture. It's no wonder her music manages to convey so much meaning and feeling. She's a treasure still.
Intuition, insight and intelligence..an amazing woman.
Her bit on intellect is dead on. We are so much stupider than our gift of emotional intuition and we betray it at cost.
Hate to bust the count of comments at 69 but I wanted to point out how good the interviewer was!!! Joni is just the best ever idk what to even say about all those ideas
Got to be a massive IQ, the sure sign of it is extreme honesty.
Honest and devoid of posturing. Thank you Joni for setting a different standard again.
A lovely woman, an individual, who didnt fit into any category
Her imagination lyrically is off the planet. But she is message vocalist, an activist. I have always like her most musically. Her expressive voice, her vocal phrasing, her weird and wonderful guitar chords.She out all pop artists has been full of diversity- a lot of people love her folk, but then her jazz rock swing , then her pure jazz. She then recorded folk rock pop in the 80’s such as the brilliant compilation album Chalk in The Rain Storm , then back to wonderfully done Night Ride Home and the Grammy Award winner Turbulent Indigo which had the beautiful torching ballad Sire of Sorrow and a host of other appealing tunes. But you really have to like Both Sides Now with her renditions of past Ballad tunes dating back prior to WW2. Backed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra many of its instrumentalists were openly in tears so touched with Joni singing these jazz ballads of yesteryear. She is a serious musician and song writer with a magnificent legacy.
Joni is one the best musicians ever. She has all the artistic talents utilizing her musical intelligence to produce whatever interests her and she always does it very well.
Deep ,not many artists this open ,She is fascinating
So much admiration for this woman, a true artist in every sense of the words
I love her vocal impressions of different musical beats. Her "rock" beat sounded like she would launch into Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You". The "neurotic" post-punk beat cracked me up.
Exellent interview. Particularily about her thoughts on Rock and Roll.
Great to hear to speak !
Best interview I ever seen with my hero
Smart lady. Thanks for uploading this.
Pure genius ❤
Very interesting. I could have seen her do something with Miles. We are lucky to have been able to enjoy her talent ~ Thanks, Joni 🙂
Joni gets into some trippy thoughts in this interview!
