Joni Mitchell Archives
The Joni Mitchell Archives is an ongoing project to release previously unreleased recorded material by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. So far, each new release schedule consists of a box set collection, a compilation with material on the box set release, and a live album. The project is being overseen by Mitchell and Patrick Milligan, director of A&R for Rhino Records, the label through which the project's offerings are being released. The first release also received input from Neil Young, who had experience with the release of his own extensive archival series, and Mitchell and Young's late manager Elliot Roberts, who died during the process of planning the first box set, and to whom the release is dedicated. The project's logo prominently features a polar bear, a visual allusion to the traditional Saulteaux name bestowed upon Mitchell by a childhood friend at her seventy-fifth birthday party.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
''The Hissing of Summer Lawns'' is the seventh studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, released in 1975. The sessions featured backing from members of the jazz groups the L.A. Express and the Jazz Crusaders. The lead single was "In France They Kiss on Main Street." The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Background The slick jazz-pop sound Mitchell developed on ''Court and Spark'' (1974) would be pushed into more adventurous territory on ''The Hissing of Summer Lawns''. On "The Jungle Line", Mitchell is credited with the first commercially released song to include sampling, featuring a loop recording of African musicians. This interest in world music would presage the work of Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon in subsequent years. Other tracks reflect a fusion of jazz and "shimmering avant pop." The album also utilizes ARP synthesizer. Songs The first track, "In France They Kiss on Main Street", is a jazz-rock song abo ...

Court And Spark
''Court and Spark'' is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Released in January 1974, it infuses the folk rock style of her previous albums with jazz elements.

For The Roses
''For the Roses'' is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.

The single was a success, peaking at number 25 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, becoming Mitchell's first top 40 hit released under her own name (as a songwriter, several other performers had had hits with songs that she had written).

The A
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.
