<< Does anybody know if Joni has any intention to release any more CDs, when will the much wanted Joni Mitchell tribute album be released and is there a track listing available. >>
Joni's latest CD, titled The Circle Game (last I heard) is forthcoming. I don't know that any schedule has been announced. Hopefully it will see the light of day this year. The record will consist of some of Joni's earlier songs, recorded with a full orchestra a la "Both Sides Now". Those of us who saw her on tour in 2000 got treated to (possibly) some of the new arrangements. As for the long-awaited tribute, I think that it may not ever appear. Reprise won't answer any messages about it. Elvis Costello stated that there may be some record-company quibbling going on behind the scenes. Anyway, last I knew this was the tracklisting for "A Case Of Joni": PM Dawn, b Night in the Cityb (already released as a single) Annie Lennox, b Ladies of the Canyonb (already released) Stevie Wonder, b Woodstockb Janet Jackson, b Beat of Black Wingsb Duncan Sheik, b Court and Sparkb kd lang, b Help Meb (performed live for TNT tribute) Sarah McLachlan, b Blueb (already released) Elvis Costello, b Edith and the Kingpinb Chaka Khan, b Hejirab (performed at Joni's Jazz) Etta James, b Ameliab Elton John, b Free Man In Parisb (performed live for TNT tribute) Bjork, b Boho Danceb Lindsey Buckingham with Mick Fleetwood, b Big Yellow Taxib Steely Dan, "Carey" Hope that helps, Paul. You can always check JoniMitchell.com & know that Jim will issue any updates when they occur. Bob
