The Asylum Albums (1976-1980) gathers Joni Mitchell's boldest stretch into one 5CD box set, newly remastered from the original analogue tapes, with her own painting on the cover.
Released in 2024, it collects Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mingus and the live double Shadows and Light, the four albums where she pushed furthest from her folk roots into jazz, extended song forms and long, winding road poems. At the time, some listeners were baffled. Today, many see this run as the peak of her ambition.
Hejira is the anchor. "Coyote," driven by Jaco Pastorius's liquid fretless bass, and the hushed, wandering "Amelia" are among the finest songs she ever wrote, both built on her own restless, open-tuned guitar. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter goes bigger and wilder, with the sixteen-minute "Paprika Plains" drifting through piano and orchestra. Mingus, her collaboration with the late jazz giant Charles Mingus, includes a haunting "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat."
Shadows and Light closes the set in concert, with a band that included Pat Metheny, Pastorius and Michael Brecker.
This is the definitive way to hear Mitchell's jazz years in one place. For serious fans, it's an essential addition to the shelf, and a beautifully packaged one at that.
