Stars Set For Joni Mitchell Tribute

Judd's sister, actress Ashley Judd, will host the event. Special guests, as well as additional performers, have yet to be announced.

In other Mitchell news, the artist will mount a 12-date orchestral tour in support of her new Warner Bros. album of standards, "Both

Sides Now." The jaunt will kick off May 12 in Los Angeles and conclude May 2 in Philadelphia.

"Both Sides Now" is the first in a trilogy Mitchell and producer Larry Klein have planned. The next project will feature Mitchell's music in a symphonic setting. "You know, it will be stuff like ["Judgement Of The Moon And Stars (Ludwig's Tune)"]," from 1972's "For The Roses." I had to do it low budget with just one violin player originally," she told Billboard's Melinda Newman in February. "So it would be a thrill to take material and orchestrate it for a big orchestra."

Mitchell calls the third album "Have Yourself A Dreary Little Christmas." "It will include four of my 'something bad always happens to me on Christmas' songs, four secular Christmas songs, and four carols. I want to make a play out of it," she said.
