Reprise

Volume 2 in the Joni Archive series - this one explores the period leading up to <i>Blue</i> through nearly six hours of unreleased home, studio, and live recordings. The tracks on Archives Vol. 2 have been sequenced chronologically to follow Mitchell in real time through one of the most creative periods of her career. The collection uncovers several unreleased Mitchell originals, including “Jesus” recorded in 1969 at her friend Jane Lurie’s New York apartment in Chelsea, which also served as the setting for the song “Chelsea Morning.” Other highlights include Mitchell’s performance at Le Hibou Coffee House in Ottawa on 19 th March 1968 that was recorded by Jimi Hendrix and a concert at the Paris Theatre in London on 29 th October 1970 that was broadcast on the BBC. The latter includes several songs destined to appear on Blue the following year: “Carey,” “River” and “My Old Man.” 

In addition, singer-songwriter James Taylor joined Mitchell to perform with her during the second half of the show. Among the other treasures on Archives Vol. 2 is Mitchell’s complete Carnegie Hall debut, recorded on 1 st February 1969, a few months before the release of her second album, Clouds, which would win Mitchell her first of nine Grammy Awards. Like its predecessor, Vol. 2 includes a booklet illustrated with many unseen photos from Mitchell’s personal collection as well as new liner notes featuring conversations about the time period between writer/filmmaker Cameron Crowe and Mitchell
