Comment:

How great and influential a songwriter is Joni Mitchell? Take a look at these Essentials and you'll quickly appreciate the sheer variety and brilliance of the artists who surveyed her catalogue, picked out a diamond, and said to themselves: "I'm going to record [i]that[/i]." Let's start with Crosby, Stills & Nash's anthemic, era-defining treatment of "Woodstock" — which first appeared on her 1970 masterwork, [i]Ladies of the Canyon[/i] — and Judy Collins' gorgeous 1968 hit "Both Sides Now."

The girl from Alberta feeds the creative appetite of Elvis Costello, Prince, and others . . . in Next Steps.
