About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On 1971's, Blue, Joni Mitchell took a poetic look inside and produced some of her most enduring work. The first song, "All I Want" begins "I am on a lonely road and I am traveling/Looking for something to set me free," and those sentiments set the tone for the recording. With great eloquence, she examines the expectations of romance, the cost of wanderlust, and the discipline of art. On the title track she sings "Hey Blue/here is a shell for you/Inside you'll hear a sigh/A foggy lullaby/There is your song from me." Featuring remarkably spare accompaniment by Mitchell, and guests, James Taylor and Stephen Stills, Blue highlights Mitchell's maturity as a singer. When people speak of Mitchell as the godmother of Lilith Fair, this is the Joni they speak of. Martin Johnson, Barnes & Noble

June 13, 2007: Let this CD amaze you from the first hopeful line of "All I Want" to the last beautifully tragic chord in "The Last Time I Saw Richard". This CD is a classic through and through. Every song is as powerful as the last. Each drip with beauty, fragility, happiness, and personal reflections. Each tell a story from start to finish. I hope Blue captivates you the way it does me. Hands down, one of the best acomplishments by an artist in our time.
