Deserves her own thread a true genius when it came to song writing and folk music with a smattering of blues.

32 albums and many worth listening to in full over and over again if you like simple pure songs with a meaning and reflection of life in 3 minutes of time.

When Joni goes perhaps the genre of folk music will see its final passing in its rawest form but today we lost another great and may she RIP.

I was listening to some of her music recently and wondering how quick and in some sense fickle life is and how moments in time define our lives.
