Joni Mitchell has revealed upcoming plans for her Archives series.
It comprises a new boxed set The Asylum Albums (1976-1980), which features newly remastered versions of Hejira (1976), Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter (1977), Mingus (1979) and the live album, Shadows And Light (1980). All four were recently remastered by Bernie Grundman.

The Asylum Albums (1976-1980) will be released on June 21 in 5-CD and 6-LP 180-gram vinyl (a limited edition of 5,000) versions, as well as digitally. These sets are available to order here.
Accompanying the set is a heartfelt essay penned by Meryl Streep, a lifelong fan of Mitchell’s work. She writes: “It’s not just the artifact – music and lyrics – that Joni gives us. Her artistry leaves us, ourselves, changed. She has shifted things around inside us. And that’s how artists change the world.”
You can hear a remastered version of “Coyote” below.
