Blue — 1971
Joni Mitchell
An intimate, confessional landmark of singer-songwriter craft, spare in arrangement and emotionally fearless. Mitchell's melodies and open tunings are extraordinary throughout. Routinely named one of the greatest albums ever made. A 1971 record that fills in the story between the landmarks.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
