(2000):"For the book by Witold Rybczynski, see ""Taming the Tiger" is the sixteenth studio album by
Joni Mitchell . It was released in 1998 and was widely believed to be the last album of new material Mitchell would ever release (though this was dispelled with the release of her 2007 album "Shine"). The title refers to the unexpected commercial and critical success of her previous album "Turbulent Indigo ". As of December 2007, it has sold 133,000 copies in the US to date.Track listing
