In looking at David Yaffe’s, Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell, Carl Wilson argues that Joni’s musical talent and accomplishments have been “asterisked” over the years because she was a girl, and that it’s long past time she got the recognition she deserves for pushing musical and cultural boundaries with songs built on her “chords of inquiry” (unique chords based on her own tunings).
