Whilst not quite the duet some may have dreamt or dreaded, Björk and Prince are both set to appear on the upcoming Joni Mitchell tribute album.

The Icelandic songstress reinterprets 'Boho Dance', whilst the previously unnameable purple sex midget tackles 'A Case Of U' on the album, appropriately titled 'A Tribute To Joni Mitchell'.

Sufjan Stevens, Emmylou Harris, Annie Lennox and Elvis Costello are among other artists to appear on the tribute, which is slated for release in the northern spring.

'A Tribute To Joni Mitchell' – Track List:

01 Sufjan Stevens – 'Free Man in Paris'
02 Björk – 'Boho Dance'
03 Caetano Veloso – 'Dreamland'
04 Brad Mehldau – 'Don't Interrupt the Sorrow'
05 Cassandra Wilson – 'For the Roses'

yay, emmylou! yay, annie! yay, elvis! yay, kd lang!

it'll be interesting to see how bjork does "a case of you," which is my favorite joni song. wish they could've used kd lang's version from hymns of the 49th parallel, because it's amazing. i'm not a huge joni fan, but i'm looking forward to this!
