Joni Mitchell's Songs to a Seagull (back cover)

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PGITZmJrkE

Description: On the back cover of *Songs to a Seagull*, Joni Mitchell is caught in the half-shadowed, bohemian hush of late‑1960s Greenwich Village, not yet the icon she’d soon become but a young songwriter listening hard to the city around her. The narrow downtown streets of New York, NY 10012 echo the album’s spare, open‑tuned guitar lines, as if the tenements themselves are absorbing her early compositions. You can almost hear passing cabs and distant club doors swinging open, mixing with the maritime imagery and restless longing that run through these first recorded songs. Stand at this spot—Map‑2A/Grid‑2C—and you’re stepping into a quietly revelatory moment in her evolution, now one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
