Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Joni Mitchell would go on from this 1971 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 songbird 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

Format:Audio CD
This album sends shivers through my body and reminds me of the wonder that is the world just at the very thought of it. Classics, such as 'Blue' and up-beat, spirit-lifting tunes like 'California' have travelled around the world with me, picked me up when things aren't quite going right and reminded me that everything is good, despite what it seems like at that moment. Joni herself sings 'I am on a lonely road and I am travelling, looking for something, what can it be?' and if this isn't enough to remind you that even when you are alone there are other people, beautiful people, feeling the same way, then what is? I would say, buy it, fill yourself with it and let it enrich your life.

My favourite album. I once knew someone who only ever listened to classical music, until I played him this album. He was converted instantly. Joni really does have the voice of an angel and can move you to tears. Also, there's my favourite rhyming couplet ever in a song: 'Richard got married to a figure skater, and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator.' Genius. Buy this and your life will be enriched!

My mother raised me on the likes of Alanis Morissette, Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell, and Blue is one of those albums that speaks true no matter who you are or what you've done. Read more
