À propos de cet audio

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

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

I remained captivated because of the subject (Joni) but Malka inserted herself too often with "that happened to me too" sort of anecdotes. It was conversation so they could have edited it out...but they didn't. It added nothing to the story aside from seeming like the interviewer needed attention or thought that she deserved the attention. I don't know, it may not bother others but I just felt like saying (and I did say it out loud at one point) "shut up!"

Aside from that, it does give a good insight into the way Joni perceives things and different things that she has gone through. She has a somewhat egotistical way about her by my interpretation of some of her statements but hey, she's Joni Mitchell and besides, who knows how one might be shaped by living a life like that.

Joni should have used a different journalist.

Interview style books are probably best left in the printed word medium. As other reviews have noted, the whole “Malka/Joni” switching gets tiring very quickly, and there’s so much padding with the reading out of full song lyrics that left me fast-forwarding those sections of the book, and speeding up the playback rate overall just to get to the end quicker.
There may be some good content and insights within these pages, but they ended up being lost on me due to the above issues.
I would consider getting this as an e-book or physical copy to probably appreciate it better.

Wrong medium for this type of book.
