Description

Hejirais the eighth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriterJoni Mitchell, released in 1976 onAsylum Records. Its material was written during a period of frequent travel in late 1975 and early 1976, and reflects Mitchell’s experiences during that time. Characterized by lyrically dense, sprawling songs, as well as the overdubbedfretless bassplaying ofJaco Pastorius,Hejiracontinued the musician’s journey towards a freer,jazz-inspired sound.

Lead track “Coyote” was released as a single. The album did not sell as well as its predecessors, peaking at No. 22 in her native Canada. It reached No. 13 on theBillboard200pop album chart in the United States, where it was certified gold by theRIAA, and No. 11 in the UK, where it attained a silver certification. Critically, the album was generally well received, and in the years since its release,Hejirahas been considered one of the high marks of her career.
