WFUV's "The Joni Project" is a brand new hour of exclusive covers of Mitchell's songs by Sarah Jarosz, Courtney Marie Andrews, Son Little, Madison Cunningham, Margo Price, Bailen, The Mountain Goats, Nada Surf's Matthew Caws, Flock of Dimes, and Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith. In an interview, Son Little talks about the impact of Joni Mitchell's lyrics on his own songwriting.

He deeply appreciates the Staple Singers' bridge between the secular and the spiritual.
