The Beat Generation, a three-CD anthology on Rhino Word Beat Records, highlights the legacy of the Beat era in all its manifestations. It gives glimpses of seminal Beat influences like Langston Hughes and Lord Buckley and re-creates, through poetry, jazz, comedy and interview segments, the aura of "hipness" that came to define the Beat Generation. The collection weaves the bop and postbop melodies of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan and others together with classic spoken-word and comedy performances by notables including Kerouac, Kenneth Rexroth and Lenny Bruce.

For the third album collection of the Joni Mitchell Archives project, The Asylum Albums (1976-1980) covers what is arguably the knottiest and most challenging period in a career known for being knotty and challenging. While there are certainly fans who have a preference for Mitchell's diaristic/post-folk sounds of the late '60s/early '70s Reprise era or the exploratory fusions of pop and jazz of her first three Asylum albums, most of those fans can find space to love all (or at least most) of the work she released between 1968 and 1975. Utterly unbound by genre formality or commercial considerations—and also very explicitly chafing at the expectations put upon her by the music business—these three studio albums (and one equally unapologetic live album) proved to be much more divisive.
