"One of the world's leading Joni Mitchell cover groups, 'Big Yellow
Taxi.dk', are set to release 11 more 'unreleased' songs."
Our first CD "A Tribute to Joni Mitchell" from 2002 was made in
connection with our visit to a gathering of Joni fans at Big Indian
near Woodstock. Here we were given a lot of unknown Joni songs from
early concerts and radio live shows. Songs that have never been
released.
Now it became a lot more interesting to play Joni songs. Not copying
but playing them in our way and presenting some nearly forgotten songs
of an Icon to the world. The first 3 came on "Unknown and Famous Song
of Joni Mitchell" in 2006 and was approved by Joni Mitchell and Sony
ATV).

She must have been very creative at that time 'cause now we can
present 11 more songs that never found their way to her records. Among
them, the very first song that Joni Mitchell wrote: Day after Day.
Joni Fans Rejoice!

Joni Mitchell may have released her first album in 1968, but the
period of '66-'68 was incredibly prolific for her. Song To A Seagull
contained her more recent work and left dozens of SUPERB songs behind.
Big Yellow Taxi has re-discovered these gems and re-configured them
with a multitude of musical colors, updating the styling but staying
true to Joni's composition and emotion. Christina's crystal clear
voice navigates the sometimes-tricky melodies with ease, and Henning
and band excel in their musicianship. The result is an amazing album
of lovely songs that would have been big hits had Joni released them
on her own. Get this now and prepare to be amazed!

These recordings of some of Joni's earliest -- and seldom if ever
heard -- work are priceless.
Gerald Van Waes:
When I heard a few fragments on CD Baby I couldn't believe that this
Joni Mitchell tribute group didn't contain any Joni Mitchell herself,
because the group is much more than a Joni-alike. They're almost like
twins, in soul and matter. Of course it is because singer Christina
Friis has not only a similarly coloured voice, she is able to give the
same range and singing technique. I'm not surprised this is Joni
Mitchell approved. Besides that the arrangements have their own
vision, and everything reveals a purity and honesty which counts
heavily.
