Bjork, Annie Lennox and Sufjan Stevens are amongst the artists contributing covers of Joni Mitchell tracks to new album 'A Tribute To Joni Mitchell', out 24 Apr, and they've also added their personal reflections on the singer on a new website promoting the long player and featuring streaming versions of each cover plus Mitchell's originals.
In her entry, alongside her cover of 'Ladies Of The Canyon', Lennox writes: "I pretty much doubt that I would have gone on to become a singer songwriter if I hadn't encountered Joni Mitchell"
Bjork, meanwhile, who covers 'Boho Dance', says something sensible (loath as I may be to admit it): "As I grow older I am forced to admit a very, very sad truth (something I promised I would never do, but...) we are living in a rock white male world and because of this Joni is being ignored while someone like Bob Dylan for instance has become a saint."
