Travelogue (Joni Mitchell album)

Travelogue is a 2002 double album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell featuring orchestral re-recordings of songs from throughout her career. It is her 18th studio album and is the follow-up to 2000's Both Sides Now which had a similar format. Upon release Mitchell announced that it would be her last album, but later recorded one further studio album, Shine.

Vince Mendoza composed the orchestral arrangements. He won a 2004 Grammy award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for his arrangement of "Woodstock". The album was not commercially successful and failed to chart, and also received mixed reviews from critics. As of 2007, the two-disc set had sold 72,000 copies in the US.
