�Shine� marks Mitchell�s return to music and is a superb collection of 10 songs that are at once compelling and poignant, exquisite and soulful, sublime and haunting. �Shine� has already been called �the best album by an artist of her generation since Bob Dylan�s �Modern Times�� by The Independent, and The New York Times described it as �inward-looking and rhythmically complex.�
�Shine� is one of three new artistic endeavors launched by Mitchell this year. Last week in New York City Mitchell hosted a screening of the Alberta Ballet�s, �The Fiddle and the Drum,� which she served as co-creator and artistic director. The ballet includes two songs featured on �Shine,� �If� (based Mitchell's favorite poem by Rudyard Kipling) and �If I Had a Heart.� The screening was followed by an art show at Openhouse (201 Mulberry St.), curated by Violet Ray Gallery. Mitchell�s �Green Flag Song,� a mixed media photographic exhibition, is currently on exhibit until October 6th.
