Blue is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. This is the album where everything came together for her. Impressive songs, very personal lyrics, great singing, and effective instrumentation. One reviewer stated; "Sad, spare, and beautiful, Blue is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album." Due to the stark and bare revelations in the album, when it was first played for Kris Kristofferson he is reported to have commented, "Joni! Keep something to yourself!" A brilliant album, generally regarded as one of the greatest of all time. I especially like Little Green, Carey, Blue, California, and River.
