Editorial Review:
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

Rating: - 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.

And although there is no obvious connection between the lives or the talents of the two women there is a tale of two generations hidden here. Marilyn represented for my parent's generation, the generation that survived the Great Depression and fought World War II, the epitome of blond glamour, sex and ... Read More

Joni Mitchell-Blue *****
Joni is an acquired taste, their is no way around it. But with her being an acquired taste how is then that she is essential. It's a head scratcher. But the fact is, some people cannot stand the lady's voice, which is sad because it truly is a beautiful and unique voice. But the truth is people either hate it or love, there is no middle ground. But this, her 1971 masterpiece Blue, is easily one of the greatest and most important albums of all time. Along side Carole ... Read More
