About this album
Released in 1976, Hejira is Joni Mitchell’s eighth studio album and a defining work of her career. Written largely during a period of travel across North America, the album draws on the solitude, uncertainty, and self-discovery of life on the road. Mitchell’s intricate songwriting and expansive arrangements blend folk with jazz, shaped by the distinctive fretless bass of Jaco Pastorius, alongside contributions from guitarist Larry Carlton and drummer John Guerin. Initially well received by critics, the album has grown in stature over the decades, now widely regarded as one of Mitchell’s masterworks.
