About this album

Miles of Aisles is a compelling live statement from Joni Mitchell, framed by The L.A. Express’s deft, jazz-leaning backing. Issued in 1974, it documents her move beyond folk confessionals into a looser, more rhythmically open setting, where songs such as You Turn Me On, I’m A Radio, Big Yellow Taxi and Both Sides Now gain fresh contour and bite. Recorded on the road, the album shows Mitchell reshaping familiar material rather than simply replaying it, with the band giving her melodies space to stretch and breathe. It stands as an important bridge between her early songwriting and the more harmonically adventurous work that followed.

Genre: Pop & Rock
