26/07/2007 Joni Mitchell signs with Starbucks for two more albums
As widely forecast, after retiring in disgust from the music biz, Joni Mitchell has, er, changed her mind. According to Variety, she's signed for a two album deal with Starbucks' new label, Hear Music. The first release, on Tuesday 25 Sept (USA), is entitled Shine. Mitchell has already curated two albums for the label - Mitchell Artist's Choice, a compilation of songs by artists who had influenced her; and Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs, her recordings chosen by other musicians. If you've ever seen either of them, you're very lucky - I ain't. Variety also reveals that Travelogue, Mitchell's sublime 2CD set, reinterpreting the cream of her immense catalogue with orchestral/jazz backings, sold a mere 72,000 copies. Criminal neglect by the millions of Baby Boomers, I'd say. I wonder what wall-to-wall crap they bought instead? Gerry Smith
