The Story Behind: Joni Mitchell - Hejira, Ep 180

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Joni Mitchell had hits, fame, and lots of famous friends when she decided to head out on a cross-country roadtrip and craft her jazziest album yet with a little help from Jaco Pastorious. The fellas discuss alterante tunings, triple tracking bass parts, and the long lonesome highway of a rock and roll life.
