In 1971, as her groundbreaking album Blue emerged as a singular
commercial and critical success around the world, Joni Mitchell puzzled
over what gift to give her friends that Christmas.
The result was a handmade book, with only one hundred copies produced,
filled with Joni’s hand-written lyrics and reproductions of many of her
stunning drawings — portraits, abstracts, random concertgoers, and more.
Each was given to a friend and, until now, the edition has remained
private. Today, with Morning Glory on the Vine, Joni’s long-ago
personal Christmas present is a present to us all.
After decades of waiting, the definitive Joni Mitchell guitar
songbook is here Joni Mitchell Complete So Far contains 167 songs
spanning her entire career, transcribed accurately and including
the authentic tunings Joni explored throughout her artistic
development. To make it easier to navigate the tunings---absolutely
integral to any student of Joni Mitchell's guitar work---this book
also includes a very clear and easy-to-use tuning index, and an
in-depth article on Joni's evolution as a guitarist. Hardcover and
featuring an impressive all-color photo section, the songbook culls
the best work from the following albums: Song to a Seagull, Clouds,
Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, The
Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter,
Mingus, Wild Things Run Fast, Dog Eat Dog, Chalk Mark in a Rain

"Buffy Sainte-Marie is an icon and inspiration. This book is
necessary-an authorized insight into the making of a legend."
-Terese Marie Mailhot, author of Heart Berries A powerful, intimate
look at the life of a beloved folk icon and activist. Folk hero.
Songwriter icon. Living legend. Buffy Sainte-Marie is all of these
things and more. In this, Sainte-Marie's first and only authorized
biography, music critic Andrea Warner draws from more than sixty
hours of exclusive interviews to offer a powerful, intimate look at
the life of the beloved artist and everything that she has
accomplished in her seventy-seven years (and counting). Since her
groundbreaking debut, 1964's It's My Way!, the Cree
singer-songwriter has been a trailblazer and a tireless advocate
for Indigenous rights and freedoms, an innovative artist, and a
disruptor of the status quo. Establishing herself among the ranks
of folk greats such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, she has
released more than twenty albums, survived being blacklisted by two
U.S. presidents, and received countless accolades, including the
only Academy Award ever to be won by a First Nations artist. But
this biography does more than celebrate Sainte-Marie's unparalleled
talent as a songwriter and entertainer; packed with insight and
knowledge, it offers an unflinchingly honest, heartbreakingly real
portrait of the woman herself, including the challenges she
experienced on the periphery of showbiz, her healing from the
trauma of childhood and intimate partner violence, her commitment
to activism, and her leadership in the protest movement.
