FIRST TIME HEARING!! | All I Want - Joni Mitchell (Reaction)

[@randsimon1313]

Talk about rabbit holes...Joni's is one of the deepest out there. Nobody wrote so many quality songs that never failed to touch you as she did. She's the pound for pound singer-songwriting CHAMPION!

[@cindy2252]

Joni is the GOAT, and the album "Blue" has so many accolades. Blue was rated the third greatest album of all time in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Joni's catalog is amazing. From this album, my favorite songs are: "A Case of You" and "Carey" & "California".

[@AliasMark69]

Joni is one of the Female artist on my list for you to get to. Glad you discovered this GODDESS in music history. She wrote the song "Woodstock" sung by Crosby-Stills-Nash at the festival. Everything about Joni Mitchell is "Unique"

[@faithnyou1732]

My all-time favorite female artist! She will blow your mind with every single song. Such a deep catalog, and I strongly encourage you to take a dive into her work! It would be great if you could check out "River". She is truly the GOAT! Thanks JM, for another great reaction and choice! ✌💙✌

[@DrStrangelove3891]

Both Sides Now, River, California, Big Yellow Taxi, A Case Of You, The Circle Game, Help Me, Coyote, Blue, Woodstock, Carey, Free Man In Paris, The Last Time I Saw Richard, Little Green... Joni is going to be a real rabbit hole to dive into. She is the greatest female singer-songwriter ever.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

SO glad you're finding Joni Mitchell - please dive into this rabbit hole with complete abandon. This entire album is exquisite. Check out RIVER, A CASE OF YOU, CALIFORNIA, BLUE. You're going to fall in love.

[@BarbaraRosen-uc4dl]

You’re so right. Joni is a multi talented person. Phenomenal voice, incredible writing skills, great guitarist, and pianist and dulcimer player. And then to top it all off she’s an incredible artist. Listen to the true versions of both both sides now, blue and anything else her voice blows my mind

[@TheCornishCockney]

That album Blue is fantastic,also by her “The Hissing of Summer Lawns” which is equally brilliant.

[@delmar418]

"Down in the cellar in the boho zone . . . "

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Thank you !!! By the way, Joni's playing dulcimer (a stringed instrument played across the lap) in her own tunings. She is accompanied by James Talor on guitar. More Joni Mitchell, please -

[@johnc.195]

"Blue" is my favorite Joni album, I played it over and over and over to get through Christmas of 1971 while stuck in a US Navy's single man's barracks. :-) "Court and Spark" is not far behind. Warning: her songs will stick in your head! It was fun to see your surprised and positive reaction to her unique and wonderful style, thanks for sharing. :-)

[@cynthianavarro4316]

Thanks for doing this song! Love IT!

[@delmar418]

Joni, she tells on her lovers, but she tells on herself and I love that connection. She's a storyteller, a siren, a reflection in a still pond, deep. Be careful with Joni, because I got a bro-crush on you for another reaction, now you done gone pushin' it! LOL!

[@bearballin]

Cool... interesting pick for your first Joni Mitchell reaction. On this album, Joni, poet, guitarist and pianist, introduced her fans to a new musical instrument, the Appalachian dulcimer. That's what you're hearing now, almost sounds like a sitar.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

She said in an interview that she started playing with the dulcimer because she could easily take it with her on the planes - I guess it became more of a featured player once she started applying her own tunings to it. She has like 160ish tunings of her own for guitar. She simply is so musically inventive. I really love her piano playing as well.

[@jeffmartin1026]

That teetering back and forth is what Joni sings (mostly) about.

[@DixieBlue]

More Joni, and more songs from her album, 'Blue' ❤

[@bugvswindshield]

Joni has such a wonder voice. Of course as a young boy I had a big crush on her 😍

[@cindydepriest3720]

Great reaction! Joni all day, everyday.

[@rhwinner]

One of the most naturally gifted musicians of the era.

[@kestrelle5345]

Joni is my favorite. "River" "California." For Free".

[@nicksylvester426]

I suggest "Hejira" tittle track from the album of the same name. We're only particles of change,orbiting around the sun. But how can I have that point of view, when I'm always bound and tied to someone.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Brilliant song... "White flags of winter chimneys Waving , "Truce" against the moon.."

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

She sounds like a songbird and hammers that dulcimer like she's ringing a bell

[@lmkeniston216]

Great reaction dude, you get her. Other songs to try would be Banquet, Judgment of the Moon and Stars, Down to You, Blue. Masterpieces all.

[@moonstone1159]

She's still my fave of all time!

[@devamail1]

Thank you for reviewing this song! One of my all time faves. I used to listen to the Blue album multiple times a day. She has tremendous guitar skills. She writes all her songs. I’m going to see her in concert this Fall. She was very ill for a long time, and is coming back with the help of some good friends on stage. Greatest songwriter ever! Please do more off this album!!

[@johnlong9534]

Such a beautiful person

[@zenpuppy6025]

A more recent song by Joni Mitchell is If I Had A Heart I’d Cry. she’s one of the best songwriters in recent decades.

[@shelleybleu4903]

Forgot this song until it started, then remembered all the words and sang along.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Blue is an incredible album. Check out "A case of You".

[@geoffbell9670]

Nobody better... Bliss!

[@bobdelp2023]

[@johnjenkins5854]

My dude. She’s barely human. As far as setting str8 up poetry to complicated/pleasing music, top of the food chain. Nobody close.

[@kevinwalsh9788]

CSN wrote " Sweet Judy Blue Eyes " as a tribute.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Stephen Stills wrote it as a tribute/love song to Judy Collins (after the break-up of a two year relationship), NOT to Joni Mitchell.

[@ABruin-vw8bi]

Sadly, it seems that so much "pop" music today is vapid, all-sounds-sort-of-the-same, corporately-produced drivel. There is an absolute absence of artistry and/or creativity in much of today's "music". Ms Mitchell's art has been poetry, and more, from the beginning. Her album "Blue" is up near the pinnacle of her creativity and artistry and is in recent years finally being recognized for the astonishing accomplishment it represents. Congratulations for discovering it and I'm jealous of your future "first listen" to many more of her creative, intelligent, well-written songs. She's a gem and a "national treasure". I'm so proud to claim her as a fellow Canadian! : )

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

Blue is a great album, but I think the underrated For The Roses is even better

[@Blue-qr7qe]

@jameswiglsworth5004 Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, For the ROSES, Let the Wind Carry Me The world doesn't deserve her. She's just that good.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

The last stanza of the last song on BLUE begins: "I'm gonna blow this damned candle out, I don't want nobody coming over to my table, I got nothing to talk to anybody about... All good dreamers pass this way,... someday, hiidin' behind bottles in dark cafés..." I don't think C&S is better - Just the next step.

[@ritagatwood]

Joni is one of the greatest singers, players and writers check out River, Help Me
