Joni Mitchell - Blue

Joni Mitchell would go on from this '71 recording to make more popular, more ambitious, and more challenging albums, but she's never made a better one. Working with minimal accompaniment (Stephen Stills and James Taylor are two of the four sidemen), the Canadian thrush summoned an involving song cycle of romance found and lost. Though Blue is an uncommonly intimate representation, it's also astonishingly open and gracious. Songs such as "All I Want," "Carey," "California," and "A Case of You" work equally well as poetry and pop music. --Steve Stolder Amazon.com essential recording

BEAUTIFUL

simply beautiful. i avoided joni mitchell not even knowing what she's all about just because i kept on hearing her name everywhere. i'm in my mid-twenties born a good decade or so after the album was released. when i first heard A Case of You, i literally touched my heart, or where it should be. a poem wrapped in the purest voice and the simplest embellishment of guitar breathing out the rawest emotion... great music transcends generations.

One of the definitive albums of our times

I have treasured this album since it was first released. It captures Joni Mitchell's passionate vision as an artist. I appreciate the clarity of music, lyrics, and intention. August 22, 2008

The best Joni has ever done

This album is so indicative of the hippie genre and how we lived it. Joni has captured that era in her songs "Little Green" and "My Old Man". All the songs on this collection are awesome and they will stay in your head and on your "pod" for time immemorial. I love this music for the memories and the good feelings it creates now.
