  • You're listening to the 2021 remaster for Joni Mitchell - "Big Yellow Taxi" originally from the album 'Ladies of the Canyon.' THE REPRISE ALBUMS (1968-1971) will be available on June 25 in 4-CD and 4-LP 180-gram vinyl versions, as well as digitally. Pre-order the CD or LP from JoniMitchell.com to receive an exclusive, limited edition 7” x 7” print of a self-portrait by Joni Mitchell: JM.lnk.to/TRA6....
    Joni Mitchell released Blue, concluding her prolific four album run for Reprise Records with an album considered by many to be one of the greatest of all time. Its stirring, confessional songs have been celebrated by music lovers and critics alike for decades while inspiring a wide variety of artists as diverse as Prince and Taylor Swift. Even today, its stature as a masterpiece continues to grow. Just last year, the album was named #3 on Rolling Stone’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
    To celebrate the album’s 50th anniversary, Rhino is releasing THE REPRISE ALBUMS (1968-1971), the next installment of the Joni Mitchell Archives series, featuring newly remastered versions of Blue (1971) and the three albums that came before it: Song To A Seagull (1968), Clouds (1969), and Ladies Of The Canyon (1970). In the case of Song To A Seagull, the original mix has been recently updated by Mitchell and mixer Matt Lee.
    The cover art for THE REPRISE ALBUMS (1968-1971) features a previously unseen self-portrait Mitchell sketched during the time period. The collection also includes an essay by Grammy winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, another artist who’s been influenced greatly by Mitchell.

    *******************
    Welcome to the official UA-cam channel of Joni Mitchell, whose songs “River,” “Both Sides Now," “California,” and albums ‘Clouds,’ ‘Ladies of the Canyon’ and ‘Blue’ compose only a fragment of a multi-disciplinary artistic output that has been embraced across generations, inspired multitudes of artists, and earned every conceivable accolade.
    One of the world’s most remarkable and beloved artists, Mitchell has influenced musicians across a vast cross-section of genres with her ethereal songs that reflect social and environmental ideals. The prolific singer-songwriter-painter-poet has not only written and produced her music, but also designed most of her album covers and packaging. A journey into Joni Mitchell’s artistry is one of a highly original, harmonically innovative, and emotionally charged, familiar yet fresh adventure.

Do you member Marin County not far from Millvalley? Well they built this meditation center they’re called Spirit rock and they have a huge parking lot. The main guy there Jack cornfield told me he was Bob Weir! I told him that we’re going to take over his animistic rock and make it into it park! That’s what I mean by making an old song new again, thanks for that wisdom journey Joni!

    a song in which Joni complains they paved paradise to put up a parking lot, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song

    This is simply timeless, as few songs can be. The simplicity, beauty, and pure feeling Joni brings to her songs has few parallels from that or any modern era. The humility, joy, and playfulness she brings as a young old soul shines through to this day, and she could do more with a few chords and heartfelt lyrics in a matter of a few minutes than many others could hope for. She captures an era and gestalt succinctly, and this stands the test of time alongside many of her tunes.
