Me too. I remember like in 2014 or 2015 I was getting my mother into Joni Mitchell. She was working out in the spare room. It was one of the times she was getting sober and on a come-up, I was going to ask her something but I heard she was listening to "The Last Time I Saw Richard" and if I recall correctly, I left her alone. My Dad was (is) named Richard and since they divorced in the early nineties, I wondered if she made associations while hearing that song. I am unable to ask her about it now.

Absolutely beautiful review! I’ve been subscribed to you for a couple years and last night I noticed you posted this. Joni Mitchell is my favorite artist, I started to listen to her when I was 14 and even then I could understand the depth in her voice. I am 26 now and understanding the lyrics as I age is a wild experience because I understand all the hardships she talking about in her songs. I really would love for you to review the album “Ladies of the Canyon.” For anyone who enjoys listening to Joni Mitchell, listen to her albums on Vinyl. Truly a different experience.

I heard this album when I was 13 and... I didn't like it. My grunge-phase teenage mind couldn't find a single hook on it and I thought it was boring and overrated. I tried again when I was in my early 20s and I still didn't get it. Then, at the age of 30, I decided to listen to Joni's other masterpiece Hejira and was bowled over by how good it was. It was then that I gave Blue another listen. And when I did, I couldn't find a single flaw on it. Her lyricism and emphasis on emotions over radio-ready hooks (although she has a few songs with those) set her apart from any of her contemporaries or the generations of songwriters she would go on to inspire. This is also a rare example of a popular album that requires life experience to truly enjoy, as I learned in the almost-20 years it took me to love this album.

Thank you for having the wisdom and the depth of interest to return to great art even if it doesn’t catch you at first. I got into Joni simply because I was a huge Prince fan, and Prince repped her so hard he actually has her name on the cover for his 1981 album “Controversy”. I think to this date still the only artist that he bigged up to that extent. Anyway, when I immersed myself in her catalogue it was clear to me that she is the songwriter’s songwriter - the musician’s musician, the poet’s poet (and a painter, but I don’t have the capacity to judge that and why should I). I love her. Through her songs, I feel she has brought me into her personal history in a disconnected but very real emotional sense. If you haven’t heard her re-recording of Clouds with an orchestra, it’s really something. I’m sure you have. Anyway. Thanks. I think we are in solidarity here over Joni at least ;) I hope you have a great 2024.

It's always nice to see a young person, that being you, Anthony, get into something as old and classic as Blue by Joni Mitchell. I was aware of Mrs. Mitchell growing up, but really didn't get into her music all that much, until I heard Blue, sometime in 1972. I was amazed by not only the clever, heartfelt, meaningful lyrics, but the music as well. She was going in a different direction here, and it made an impact on me. Since then, I guess I've listened to Blue 903,000 times, give or take 1000. I'm pretty burned out on it some 50 years later, but at the time....

Just played this the other day during a rare chill day at work (in a 300pt/day ER). It was a welcomed vibe.

Love Joni, my top 5. Got most of her on vinyl. "For The Roses" is my favorite one I think...

This album was the first crack in my egg towards realizing I was trans. I related to the femininity Joni Mitchell oozed across this record in a way I couldn't explain

Can't believe he hardly went into "A Case of You". Maybe it's been discussed to death over the years but I still wanted to hear his thoughts on the song more extensively. Lovely review otherwise though.

Joni Mitchell has a song called "Down To You". The progressive rock band "Colosseum II" did a remake of that in 1976 with players such as Gary Moore and Don Airey. I think the singer is somewhat of an aquired taste (like many progressive rock singers) but the playing is phenomenal. Comes recommended!

been waiting for this one! 💙 probably my favorite album of all time. i appreciate that you didn’t fail to mention joni’s incredibly weird and offensive character in full black face and an afro (she still defends this to this day). she’s made some questionable choices, done some questionable things, but my god is she writes music like no other. this album changed my life as an artist and a musician

I rather think that the homonymous theme shows a dilemma about depression or melancholy, because it indicates that Joni has rejected that kind of mood, and at the same time she cannot leave it aside because it has brought her certain teachings, from growing up as an adult to composing the theme itself, which in the emphasis of "making a song", I see it as breaking the fourth wall. When she sings "Blue" at the end, I was stunned by the masterpiece she composed
