Thanks to Edith Maxwell and to Jungle Reds for hosting contributors to the new anthology The Beat of Black Wings: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Joni Mitchell for a discussion of Joni Mitchell songs that resonated with them at some specific time of their lives.
I chose two—”Help Me” and “Coyote”—for different reasons, as you’ll see at the blog. And great to read everyone else’s choices, include Edith’s own, our editor Josh Pachter’s, and then picks from Barb Goffman, Sherry Harris, Alison McMahon, and Alan Orloff.
