Product Details

The Asylum years found Joni Mitchell at her most restlessly ambitious, moving from the open-tuned guitar poetry of Hejira through the dense jazz orchestrations of Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and Mingus, shedding folk audiences and critical consensus alike in pursuit of something far less comfortable and far more lasting. These 40 unreleased recordings catch her mid-transformation, in studios and on stages where the rules were being rewritten in real time.

Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980) [Highlights] Enjoy 40 unreleased recordings tracing Joni's groundbreaking work from the birth of Hejira to her legendary collaborations with jazz luminaries on this 4-LP 180-gram black vinyl set, which includes newly unearthed demos and studio outtakes from the era, live tour recordings from '76 & '79, and studio session contributions from the likes of Charles Mingus and Herbie Hancock.
