VARIOUS ARTISTS - BACK TO THE GARDEN (A TRIBUTE TO JONI MITCHELL)

  • Various Artists: Back To The Garden (A Tribute To Joni Mitchell)
        (2026, cd, UK, mojo magazine) - free CD with the June 2026 issue of Mojo magazine
Free CD with the June 2026 issue of Mojo magazine.

The excellent CD accompanying the June 2026 issue of MOJO Magazine, is less a conventional tribute album and more a lovingly curated journey through the many worlds of Joni Mitchell. Bringing together artists from folk, jazz, soul, indie rock and Americana, the collection celebrates not only Mitchell’s songwriting genius, but also the remarkable flexibility of her compositions.

Nice. Very nice.

It made me revisit one of the original songs.

"A Little More Of This - A Little More Of That"

MORE MISSING PERSONS

I received a digital copy of "BBC College Concert #7 - Missing Persons, Six Flags Magic Mountain Sept. 10, 1982", a recording of a radio show that eventually got released on CD and LP in 2024 as "Live In Santa Clarita - October 10, 1982".
I assume that the CD / LP version does not have the radio announcer's comments...
