Joni Mitchell je kanadská pesničkárka, multi-instrumentalistka a maliarka. Vynikla ako jedna z najvýznamnejších autoriek piesní šesťdesiatych rokov, známa pre osobné texty a nekonvenčné kompozície, ktoré postupne prepájala s popom, jazzom a rockom. Držiteľka jedenástich cien Grammy a členka Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Limitovaný vinylový box Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4 vydaný na šiestich LP dokumentuje živé koncerty a štúdiové demá z turné v rokoch 1975–1976 a z obdobia nahrávania albumov Hejira a Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. Medzi zvýraznenými skladbami sú živé verzie Coyote, A Case of You, Song for Sharon a Amelia, ďalej demá a rané mixy. Nahrávky pochádzajú z koncertných pódiách v Bostone, Montreale, New Yorku, Texase a Kalifornii, zachytávajúce umelkyňu v experimentálnej tvorivej fáze.
