Long-time Joni scholar and fan Lloyd "Chip" Whitesell's new book entiled "The Music of Joni Mitchell" is to be released by the Oxford University Press in July of 2008. Chip teaches music history at McGill University in Montreal. He is the author of articles on Benjamin Britten, Maurice Ravel, Bernard Herrmann, and minimalism, and co-editor of the book Queer Episodes in Music and Modern Identity. The book is currently available for pre-order in both hardcover and paperback. Chip's article from 2002 entitled Harmonic palette in early Joni Mitchell is one of the all-time most-read items from the Library, so this book should prove to be an important addition to any fan's collection.
