Y’all. Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” is a really fantastic song. The lyrics are great, but it’s just catchy af.
Friends growing up in the 70s will remember this playing on the radio all the time. If you’re a younger pup, check it out. It’s delightful.
"Woodstock" is a song written by Canadian-American singer-songwriter #JoniMitchell. At least four notable versions of the song were released in the same year, 1970. Mitchell's own version was first performed live in 1969 and appeared in April 1970 on her album #LadiesOfTheCanyon and as the B-side to her single "#BigYellowTaxi". This publication was preceded by #CrosbyStillsNashAndYoung's version.
