Background

The album, recorded with Gary Paczosa in Nashville, features new songs and re-recorded tracks from Mitchell's back catalogue. The record saw a limited release, and was meant as a thank you to fans, Anaïs saying "if the title were longer, it would be 'dear audience, thank you for everything'". "Any Way the Wind Blows" was later featured in the musical adaptation of her fourth studio album Hadestown.
