One of the best albums..ever in a hundred years her voice will still sting and cause us to cry out for the beauty and Pain.

I was 20 when this album came out. I’d just given up a baby girl for adoption and had been in relationships of little commitment. I bought the record and put it on my stereo in my tiny apartment…. When Little Green started I sobbed and sobbed. I cried through many of these songs . Joni Mitchell is my heart ❤️. My daughter found me later in her adult life.

In 1985 I was 18 and living at my friend's Mom's house in East York. She had Joni Mitchell's album Blue, and I listened to it over and over again, every day for the year that I lived there. The most beautiful music I've ever heard. The most beautiful vibe. And as a student of jazz and songwriting, she was one of my biggest influences. I learned that you can break all the rules, if you stick to your truth; creating beauty. Joni is the truest Folk Musician. I am grateful to have owned her other albums; Mingus, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Court and Spark, and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. It is no wonder every great male folk musician was smitten by her beauty and singular unearthly talent! Thank God and Goddess for Joni! ♥💕💞🥰

Joni Mitchell is the poetess and minstrel who defined the cultural transformation of the flower children seeking the path of peace and love. I could drink a case of her and still be on my feet. Forever young, eh?

Giving up anything is hard to do but sometimes it's the best and most right thing to do. There are many ways to give up a child: one is to adoption and the other is to lose a child to death sometimes it takes many years to deal with the letting go Johnny has captured this perfectly in little green Bravo. Just because you get let a child go doesn't mean that you're not still a mother. Motherhood is forever

someone was quoted as stating ‘to know joni is to love her’. an amazing talent, a complex human being, yes with imperfections, but she did very well with being strong as she could.

All I want perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be 20 years old

"The Last Time I Saw Richard"... who writes songs like that? Nobody. Nobody but the brilliant Joni Mitchell.

Every time I hear this song, I wonder if my name was meant in this song, whether my Asian wife was really happier than the figure skater, whether I had given up believing that a really honest understanding is possible, and whether, I tended to tell myself that it's all just pretty lies. And then you hear all that sung so incredibly beautifully by Joni, holding the perfect balance, describing, judgement free, softly motivating for a change of view. Well I guess it pushed me a bit in a better direction.

Dear Joni: "Blue" was the first of your albums to be released in Argentina. Since that day , you are a presence in our home. Some years ago, I translated all of your songs from English to Castellano. Thanks for your music, for your life.

" We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall keeping us tied and true." Joni knew her relevance in the world. Always willing to share her gifts and insight. A forerunner in women's and men's liberation. Nonconformist to be my idol in so many ways. Yet, I did not know this at 14. I only sensed the power of jms words in my life. Now I experience and have lived the power of jm as a word smith and change agent in this humble life.

The first time I saw her was on a new colour tv, very few around at that time, at a friends house with a group of friends. Unexpected. We weren't watching but heard her and all conversation stopped, all eyes turned to the tv and everyone stopped, everything just stopped, and we were mesmerized. Sheer beauty, astounding for us at that moment. A beautiful memory none of us will ever forget.

This is the ONLY album I have every played, loved every song and played it all over again and again until I knew all the lyrics and melodies. From the first track All I Want she draws you in with workds and music that absolutely complement each other to make you inhabit her story and personality. I am adamant Joni Mitchell should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Though I love Bob Dylan too everything about her music is streets ahead of his. Then there was Hejira, Miles of Aisles, For the Roses,...

When I was, growing up; cultured people, liked Joni.

I'm 73, and I've adored Joni since my late teens. I discovered her after her first or second album (I don't remember which). I was living in NYC, and she was giving concerts in NYC, some of them in very small venues such as night clubs. I saw her at one of those night clubs. Because I had made a reservation, when I arrived, they took me to the first row (a wooden bench) and asked the other patrons to scoot over, so I watched Joni give her concert about ten feet away from me. (The stage was very small.) Unfortunately, I was so new to her music then that I didn't recognize any of her songs, having listen to one album just once or twice. Now, in my old age, I have listened to each song perhaps fifty times. My feeling about Joni is that she was the greatest singer-songwriter (up through her album Hejira). She sang with more feeling, nuance and sensitivity than any other singer. Starting with Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, she started to sing in a more stylized way which I couldn't relate to. Her first eight albums are her best work. I'm happy for all you young people who have discovered Joni. She may be the best singer you will ever listen to.

My mom managed to find this on vinyl in Nigeria, I’m so grateful to her for exposing me to such great music.

I was introduced to Joni Mitchell by my dad in the 1970s when I was around 7...He has every album etc Joni has ever made or had connection to..I am now 57 and this is one of my favourite albums of all time..Dad is still alive but he has stated Joni should be played at his funeral..My son at 27 and a musician is also in awe of Joni as the talent she is..Her music makes me cry when I listen and will always and forever be my dad to me💙 I am seeing him tomorrow visiting the cenotaph where his grandad was remembered from WW2...perhaps we will put Joni on❤️

I am 77 and one half and Blue is always on my mind and often on my turntable as is Willie Nelson's best album "Stardust" and Dylan's greatest hits or whatever the title of that one is.

At 78 the beautiful, talented Joni Mitchell is back after surviving a serious brain aneurysm 7 years ago! I remember praying for her an extended period, knowing that God is faithful, cos she had more to do.in this life, and it looks like she is doing it. 🙏 Her voice is still powerful, and she retaught herself to play guitar! 😍😍So glad you're bringing us good music! Your music helped define my teen years in the 1970s. Joni is the White American counterpart to Aretha Franklin (RIP Queen).

I lived in the land of steady habits (Connecticut) until I was 35 years old, traveled for 2 years and now and for the last 40 years lived in the largest state. California.

I love Joni Mitchell. Her voice saves lives.

The first time I heard this full album, the line “I’m frightened by the devil, and I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid” from A Case of You made me pause the song and just think for a couple minutes because I was so in awe of the songwriting. It still amazes me.

Yes, I agree with you! I've been amazed by this great artist since I heard her on the radio in the 1960s and listen to her music before I go to sleep at night. Not every morning of mine is a Chelsea morning, but close!

I only discovered her last year. Someone cited her as an example of a voice that autotune would ruin. I've been hooked ever since... The voice... The poetry... One of a kind...

@@TwinOpinion My mom played a couple of her songs from Blue when I was really young, but I only got into the rest of her albums last year as well. And I agree, there’s always been something “different” about her music and lyrics. I think it sounds beautifully old-timey, incredibly modern, and oh-so-70’s all at the same time.

"You're sad and your sorry, but you're not ashamed." What an amazing line.

Here from the Maynard James Keenan interview on Rick Beato's channel. I'm ready to be rocked.

Me too and I don’t understand what the big deal is. I honestly can’t fathom why people like this. I don’t understand what I’m missing. To me it’s just noise. I love Tool.

Joni is the first female vocalist that made me feel what a singing BIRD, floating along a warm breeze, might sound like. First heard this in 1980...Lifts your soul

I feel nostalgic for an era i ve never witnessed. Thank you to the youtuber who mentioned this artist and this album while he was praising Tapestry album by Carole King. I'm 23 years old, I am no woman yet i am so connected to the record on various ways. 02/07/23

I hope life worked out well for you after you met each other, life is a precious gift that will be taken from me soon probably. And yes, Joni brings tears to my eyes also.

Oh Joni, you woke me up in the morning & sang me to sleep at night. Thank you for all those woman's words.

My great aunt recently passed and we really connected over our love for Joni, specifically this album. Thank you Joni for creating this masterpiece, you are a genius.

I never realized Joni was just an incredible pianist, wow. River is such an amazing and powerful song.

Certainly exceptional, thank you 🙏 😎😎😎☮☮☮☮👍👍👍👍✝❤❤❤

Today is my mum's heavenly birthday...She loved Joni! when she was in her 20s ppl used to stop her on the street bc they thought she was Joni. I was lucky to have a beautiful person as a mum

I’m only 21 but this album is one of my absolute favourites…. Her music is timeless and ethereal 🫶🏽✨

Wow, you seem to be an oldschool kind of girl. Rare at your age nowadays. Just amazing, hold onto that because that's where true artisty and quality keeps living on.

Praise God. She has a lovely voice.

I can't say what I feel, which is why music means so much. All I can say is thank you.

Beautiful .Takes me back to more simple times.

From 14 when I first heard this album...to today at nearly 63....damn where did the time go? Thank you Joni

A friend of mine was a theater major at CU Boulder and was working the lights backstage at Mackey Auditorium in the early 70s. Seared into my brain is looking down on her from up high from behind the curtains…I was captivated and have never escaped being smitten by the totality of her depth & beauty.

This and ""Court and Spark" , for me are timeless, even after all the passing years they still beguile.

This is just a beautiful and emotional album.I love the song "Little Green" it tickles my heart for real.
