Shine, Joni Mitchell's seventeenth studio album, is her first album of all-new material since 1998's Taming the Tiger. Joni announced her retirement from the music industry in 2002, making Shine a wonderful surprise and a huge gift to her legions of devoted fans. From Joni's liner notes: 'That night the piano beckoned for the first time in ten years. My fingers found these patterns which express what words could not.'
