Produced by Brandi Carlile, the album chronicles Mitchell's first full public concert since she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015.
Musicians Wynonna Judd and Blake Mills, and a Newport Folk Festival producer, recount the lead up to, and miracle of, Mitchell’s surprise performance.
“I know I’m ugly-crying most of the time, and I’m not thrilled about that,” Judd joked in an interview with The Times a couple of days after the show. The veteran country singer, whose mother, Naomi, had died from suicide just months before the festival, went on to call Mitchell’s music “the soundtrack of my childhood” and compared the Newport set to “magic — like death and life at the same time.”
