This album was a few years in the making. The journey started with a single ‘socially distanced’ Masterlink Sessions instrumental version of ‘A Case Of You’  during l. This was the first stepping stone of the challenging and respectful journey and also led to several conversations with a wide range of artists about the work and artistry of Joni Mitchell. 

As it transpired there was a lot of love and respect for her art which has clearly touched and inspired countless of artists and musicians. Hence the quest began to record our own versions by asking artists which Joni songs meant the most to them. We were looking for deep-dive lovers of her music and we believe we found them.

We opted for a traditional approach when recording these songs. Critically this means that all the artists and musicians were together in the same room conjuring up the sonic landscape, live and unconstrained to achieve the most pure and emotive performances possible. 

We'd like to feel this album represnts a a beautiful marriage between a group of world class international musicians and some truly outstanding, characterful, vocalists who are also artists in their own right. Together they bring a new perspectives to some of the best songwriting in the history of modern music.. Great songs are open to re-interpretation and they are done so here very much with real love and respect to the spirit of Joni in their re-imaging.
