Joni Mitchell anuncia “Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975)”
O novo box set de Joni Mitchell vai estar disponível em duas versões de 5xCD e 4xLP.
Joni Mitchell anunciou o lançamento de um novo box set intitulado “Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975)”. O box set, que será lançado a 6 de Outubro via Rhino, sucede a “The Early Years (1963-1967)” e “The Reprise Albums (1968-1971)” e apresenta as configurações de 5xCD e 4xLP. Como teaser Mitchell divulgou uma versão demo de “Help Me”, tema de “Court and Spark” (1974).
“The Asylum Years” refere-se à gravadora que lançou os álbuns de Mitchell no início dos anos 70, mas também faz referência ao retiro da artista para a Sunshine Coast da Colúmbia Britânica, uma deslocação que ela fez devido à frustração com o tratamento que recebeu da imprensa. Embora tenha se aposentado temporariamente das apresentações ao vivo, a mudança não impediu a sua composição: o período de exilio gerou os álbuns clássicos “For the Roses” de 1972, “Court and Spark” de 1974 e “The Hissing of Summer Lawns de 1975”, discos que levaram Mitchell a uma paisagem sonora mais próxima do jazz.
O box set expandido começa com duas faixas de uma sessão de gravação que Mitchell teve com Graham Nash e David Crosby: “Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire” e “For the Roses”. Prossegue com várias demos de cada uma das sessões de gravação dos álbuns citados acima , bem como gravações de concertos ao vivo no Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall, James Bay Benefit Concert, Wembley Stadium e muito mais. Ambas as versões do lançamento também vêm com um livreto de fotos de 40 páginas, bem como uma conversa entre Mitchell e o realizador, jornalista musical e amigo de longa data de Joni, Cameron Crowe, sobre esta fase da sua carreira.
