Joni's Soul:
Beginning as a collaboration by "from-the-heart" singer Gina Foster and former longtime Van Morrison guitarist Ronnie Johnson, enlisting some of UK's finest players with a shared love for an artist widely considered to be amongst the greatest singer/songwriters and guitar innovators of the last half century.
Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, A Case of You, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band explore the unique songwriting and gift of performance Joni Mitchell revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond …
Looking beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook Joni's Soul shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music. The band's cd 'Shades Of Joni' passionately illustrates their well-defined and warm interpretations of some of the finest songwriting and performance of the twentieth century. And happily here in 2024 she's back!
