Taming the Tiger is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. It was released in 1998 and was widely believed to be the last album of new material Mitchell would ever release (though this was dispelled with the release of her 2007 album Shine). The title refers to the unexpected commercial and critical success of her previous album Turbulent Indigo. As of December 2007[update], it has sold 133,000 copies in the US to date.
All tracks composed by Joni Mitchell; except where indicated
"Man from Mars" was covered by Kristen Vigard in the 1996 film, Grace of My Heart. "Man from Mars" was also covered by Chaka Khan in 2000 for her live concert DVD "The Jazz Channel Presents Chaka Khan".
