Comments for Joni Mitchell, Blue

This is one of the great albums of this or any other century. It is a deeply personal and intimate record of a brilliant & passionate artist at a pivotal point in her life. Lyrically, the songs are direct and honest, yet infused with poetic im- agery. The music is compelling and instantly memorable while posessing a richness and harmonic complexity rarely surpassed in popular music. A classic that has lost none of its vitality, edge or relevance in 20 years.

BLUE by Joni is one of the most precious and inspiring albums made in that musical period, or any music period for that matter. Listening to this beautiful mixture of poetry, emotion, soul, and melody is like standing in a blue tinted glass on a table in an empty bar and having fun at it.

A Folk masterpiece! The entire album has an emotive feel vocally, lyrically, and musically which makes it a beautifully unified whole. Only Joni`s later album HEJIRA achieved such an intensely integrated musical style.

Blue is for many synonimous with Joni MItchell herself. This album has been a life-enhancing experience for so many people and many feel that she never surpassed the lyrical beauty to be found in these immortal tracks. This lyricism was to be found in some of the later albums such as Heijira and Night Ride but te originlity of Blue gives it a special place in the hearts of Joni Mitchell devoted fans.
