Checking out this week's new music releases...



Album of the Week: It's always a good day when there's Joni Mitchell music to hear. Health issues have rendered Mitchell herself unable to perform it, but a star-studded group of friends and admirers -- from ex-boyfriend Graham Nash to recent Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile and many points in-between (James Taylor, Kris Kristofferson, Diana Krall, Emmylou Harris, Seal, Rufus Wainwright and more) -- gathered in Los Angeles last November for a joyous tribute concert captured on "Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration" (Decca).
