Nonesuch Records, however, has made our dreams a reality; the label recently announced that the three aforementioned artists-- along with Sarah McLachlan, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, James Taylor, and tasteful others-- will be featured on a forthcoming Joni Mitchell tribute record, aptly titled A Tribute to Joni Mitchell. It's due out this spring.

In addition, Billboard.com reports that Mitchell recently spent a few weeks recording new material in Los Angeles, though exactly what she plans to do with the new tunes has not been confirmed.
