“The Asylum Albums”: You can already hear the first song
The Asylum Albums (1972-1975) included the 1972 records For the Roses, Court and Spark (1974), The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975) and the live album Miles of Aisles ‘ (1974) remixed. As a taste test, the song “You Turn Me On I’m a Radio” has already been released. The archive set can here be pre-ordered.
Sound engineer Bernie Grundman was responsible for the sound mixing. He had last worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their current album “Unlimited Love” and now devoted himself to the works of Joni Mitchell.
Surprising appearance
The 78-year-old recently gave her first concert in 20 years. She has performed at the Newport Folk Festival and sung her greatest hits with artists such as Brandi Carlile. Towards the end of the performance, she surprised the audience with a guitar solo.
