River of Words: Joni Mitchell at the BBC

The life of an icon in her own words, across five decades.

Throughout her career, Joni Mitchell graced BBC radio and television with magical performances and open, in-depth, at times controversial interviews. An anonymous talent, a blossoming starlet, a white-hot star and a bona fide legend: the BBC had the inside scoop on it all.

This illuminating collection of transcripts, conversations and appearances is a tapestry of Joni's thoughts and inspirations, a memoir told in moments across five decades.

Individually, they are captivating accounts, snapshots of key moments in Joni's long career. But read together they offer a window into the mind of a truly original artist - told through her own words and the memories of those who were there with her.

Compiled and guided by BBC journalist and author Tom Hagler, River of Words: Joni Mitchell at the BBC is the story of an incredible life lived on the airwaves.
