The new album entitled ‘Shine’ is to include nine new tracks and also a reworking of her classic hit ‘Big Yellow Taxi.’
Starbucks head of music Ken Lombard says that the new album is a return to form for Mitchell. He told Billboard: “Frankly, for Joni fans, this is the Joni they’ve been waiting for. This is true Joni – it is almost the return of her as a storyteller.’
