Today singer-songwriter and actor Lola Kirke joins for a rollercoaster of a conversation about Joni Mitchell’s classic Hejira album and a lot more besides. We talk about how Lola was turned on to Joni by her then boyfriend, only for listening to the music to inspire her to leave him, Joni’s cross-country road trips and how they inspired the songwriting, whether people can write music like this in the ‘content’ era, how Lola forced her way into a Last Waltz tribute where she performed ‘Coyote’, Joni’s social media presence, celebrity autographs and how this record inspired Lola’s latest single ‘All I Had To Do’.
