Joni Mitchell has shared her new live album At Newport, commemorating her surprise appearance at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival.
Co-produced by Mitchell along with fellow Newport performer Brandi Carlile, the album features 12 live recordings. Throughout the performance, Mitchell and Carlile were accompanied by artists including Phil and Tim Hanseroth, Wynonna Judd, Marcus Mumford, Celisse, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius, and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes. The setlist includes Mitchell classics like “Big Yellow Taxi,” “A Case Of You,” and “Both Sides Now.”
Not only was Mitchell’s Newport set her first live performance in over 20 years, but it also marked a rare public appearance since she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015. Mitchell’s longtime friend, filmmaker Cameron Crowe, wrote about the magic of her return in the live album’s liner notes. (You can get the physical version of the album here.)

If Joni Mitchell’s Joni Jam at the Gorge Amphitheater Saturday were to become a scene in the upcoming Cameron Crowe biopic on the iconic troubadour, Mitchell just taking the stage to a standing ovation eight years after she nearly died of an aneurysm would have been a glorious Hollywood ending.
Mitchell simply being back on stage was already the triumph of the human spirit we all desperately craved as fans of her music and tougher than nails image. At one point during the show, Brandi Carlile, who acted as host/interviewer for the night,...

Joni Mitchell has officially announced At Newport, a live album immortalizing her surprise appearance at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. The project arrives on streaming services, CD, and 2xLP on July 28th.
Mitchell’s first live performance in 20 years came during Brandi Carlile’s set at the festival, so it’s only fair that Carlile would co-produce the live album with Mitchell herself. Phil and Tim Hanseroth, Wynonna Judd, Marcus Mumford, Celisse, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius, and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes also performed with the artists during the set, which featured Mitchell classics like “Big Yellow Taxi,” “A Case Of You,” and “Both Sides Now.” Mitchell even performed a solo instrumental version of “Just Like This Train” on guitar.
At Newport also features liner notes from Cameron Crowe, who contextualizes Mitchell’s set — which followed a brain aneurysm she suffered in 2015 — with the earnest prose we’ve come...

Joni Mitchell has a new album in the works, and she made that revelation to none other than Sir Elton John!
During a rare interview on Elton’s “Rocket Hour” on Apple Music 1, the “Cactus Tree” singer revealed during Saturday’s episode that she’s releasing a new album following her surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island this past July, marking her first full live performance since 2002.
Mitchell’s legendary status grew exponentially, after revealing to Elton that she didn’t even rehearse for that appearance, which is the basis of the new live album.
Elton complimented Mitchell for her “incredible rehabilitation” (she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015) while adding that he could tell how music has helped her so much.
“It’s beautiful to watch you evolve,” the “Tiny Dancer” singer added. “And people out there, you haven’t heard things from the Newport Folk Festival yet,...

There are too many Bob Dylan references to count in “I Don’t Live Here Anymore,” the latest arena-ready single from the War on Drugs. Some are lyrical nods to beloved songs like “Shelter From The Storm,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” and “Standing in the Doorway.” Others are even more on-the-nose, like the moment where Adam Granduciel’s narrator gets caught up in nostalgia over a Never Ending Tour gig: “Like when we went to see Bob Dylan/We danced to ‘Desolation Row.'”

Following the postponement of his This Is Not a Drill Tour, Roger Waters and his touring band once again reunited apart for a socially distanced rendition of Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut closer “Two Suns in the Sunset.”
“I had an idea to make an album of all the songs we did as encores on the Us and Them tour. We did ‘Mother’ first. Had to do it remotely because of Covid 19,” Waters said Saturday. “‘Two Suns in the Sunset’ is #2. Hope you like it. I love it.”

Swampy Muscle Shoals soul mixes with a funky Seventies color palette in Grace Potter’s splashy new video for “Back to Me.” The latest release from Potter’s second solo disc Daylight, “Back to Me” finds the singer worn-out and threadbare as a relationship unravels, but she’s also resolute about the inevitable conclusion.
Joined on the chorus by Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig from indie pop band Lucius (recently heard on Sheryl Crow’s Threads LP), Potter sings, “All your expectations fall on me, they’re so heavy, baby,...

“I never said I was a saint/I never said I’d be his savior,” sings Grace Potter in the jarringly personal “Love Is Love.” Released today, the song alludes to Potter’s 2017 divorce and subsequent new marriage and is the first taste of the Vermont singer’s upcoming album Daylight, due October 25th.
While thrilling in its musicality, with Potter showing off the powerful voice for which she’s become known, “Love Is Love” is ultimately a challenging listen, as she recounts past mistakes and the notion of infidelity.
