Joni's creative honesty continues to fascinate music lovers, as evidenced by a terrific article in the May issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine. The story celebrates the 30th anniversary of Joni's landmark album Blue; a transcription of "This Flight Tonight" is the highlight of the article. Writer Stephen Dick discusses the structure of the song in detail, commenting on how it "says a lot about Mitchell's approach to guitar playing and music making." Describing Blue as "full of passion and vivid imagery," Dick's story commemorates what is often considered one of the high points of Joni's career, serving to introduce new listeners and remind those who may have forgotten about the wonderful gift she gave us back in 1971.

Joni's getting a lot of coverage in guitar magazines lately -- an article about her innovative guitar chords (and more) appeared recently in the UK as well, in the April issue of Total Guitar magazine.
