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.

Critic Reviews

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

I understand that this was a series of interviews, but it became really repetitive and annoying for Malka to keep having to say her name all the time. She could have re-written this book so it was Joni's thoughts without the interviewer putting herself front-and-center all the time; she's not the star.

Malka love fest

But I really didn’t know her at all....
Whether you’re a fan or never heard of her, listening to this amazing woman’s words is fascinating and inspiring. Highly recommend.

A fascinating documentary about a favourite siñger/song writer artist. I recommend this to anyone searching for something a bit different.

Joni's candor.
