While still largely unknown as a composer or performer, Joni Mitchell secured a regular slot on Oscar Brandt's Let's Sing Out - a weekly folk-orientated TV show broadcast from university campuses across Canada - throughout 1965 and 1966, during which she showcased a number of her own tunes alongside songs from other writers. These early performances have remained unreleased for over 50 years but are finally featured on this video and highlight a young, unsigned Joni at the very dawn of her career. Intertwined with these early clips are interview sessions undertaken with Mitchell at various periods throughout subsequent decades where the Canadian songstress discusses her music, her art and her life which all together makes for an endlessly fascinating and hugely entertaining document of this supremely talented artist.
