LOS ANGELES — Throughout the latter half of the seventies, Joni Mitchell continued to
creatively break ground with her fearless and fluid exploration of jazz. Rather than tread the
same path, she challenged and reinvented her style with a folk fusion like no other. Ascending
to an unrivaled sonic peak, this innovative sound took shape across the gold-certified Hejira
[1976], the gold-certified double-LP Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter [1977], her collaboration
with Charles Mingus entitled Mingus [1979], and live album Shadows and Light [1980].
Channeling the thrill and excitement of these records, she delves even further into this season
on Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980), releasing on October 4,
2024 via Rhino Records.
Pre-orders are available HERE.

It stands out as the 12 th release by the Joni Mitchell Archives and extends Rhino’s ongoing,
GRAMMY-winning series exploring the vast untapped archives of rare Joni Mitchell recordings
— a project guided intimately by Mitchell’s own vision and personal touch.
Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980) arrives in multiple
configurations. It will be available as either a 6CD / digital version or a 4LP version, Joni
Mitchell Archives - Volume 4 Highlights: The Asylum Years (1976-1980). The 4LP set also
specifically consists of Joni’s personal favourites from the 6CD version. Each version includes a
book with never-before-seen photos and liner notes comprising a deep dive discussion between
Mitchell and longtime friend Cameron Crowe. As part of their candid conversation, she shares
intimate anecdotes, memories, and stories from that five-year creative run.
This comprehensive and essential set spans one of the most prolific periods of her storied
career. It boasts powerful live tracks from her time in Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue
during 1975 and 1976 Tour of the United States. It pulls back the curtain on the music by
showcasing early recordings and alternate takes from the respective sessions for Hejira, Don
Juan’s Reckless Daughter, and Mingus. It covers the Bread & Roses Festival as well as the
Anti-Nuclear Rally. Finally, Vol. 4 chronicles her 1979 tour, even showcasing two tracks from
that year’s Tour Rehearsals. Not to mention, it showcases her versatility and adaptability,
housing collaborations with everyone from Herbie Hancock and Jaco Pastorious to Wayne
Shorter and Pat Metheny.
Vol. 4 culls the previously-unissued material from original stereo reels, cassette tapes, CD-Rs,
and even a radio broadcast. Newly mixed tracks came from multi-track tapes, while a handful of
hi-res digital tracks have been sourced from the Bob Dylan Archives.
Last year, she shared Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972–1975).
Garnering critical acclaim, Pitchfork dubbed it “excellent” in a positive “8.6-out-of-10.0” review,
going on to note, “The box set—which also includes the exhilarating live album Miles of
Aisles and the impressionistic The Hissing of Summer Lawns—covers a period of Mitchell’s
career that already resists linear narrativizing.” In addition to features from Rolling Stone and
more, Folk Alley raved, “Every track on this Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years
(1972-1975) reveals more and more of Mitchell’s magic ways with a song.” No Depression
mused, “it is, in many ways, the most vital and interesting of the three collections so far,” and
FLOOD attested, “this third volume is worth digging into as the best of
Rhino’s Archives collections. I’m already excited for Vol. 4.”
It followed 2022’s Vol. 2: The Reprise Years (1968-1971). She began this journey with Vol. 1:
The Early Years (1963-1967), earning a 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Historical Album.
Last fall, Mitchell appeared at the Hollywood Bowl to perform three songs with Brandi Carlile.
Earlier this year, she impressively made her debut on the GRAMMY Awards stage with a
historic rendition of “Both Sides Now” alongside Carlile, Allison Russell, Lucius, Jacob
Collier, Blake Mills, and SistaStrings. She also accepted a GRAMMY in the category of “Best
Folk Album” for Joni Mitchell At Newport [Live] during the ceremony.
This October 19 and 20, Mitchell will be headlining her own ‘Joni Jam’ at the Hollywood Bowl
featuring special ‘Joni Jam’ guests. Be on the lookout for more news and announcements from
Joni Mitchell soon.
Experience Vol. 4 on October 4.
