I love Joni Mitchell so much ever since the 60's. I played her music all the time. Blue is my favorite. I just received 2 books from a friend. "Joni Mitchell, The Complete Poems and Lyrics. And Morning Glory On The Vine, early songs & drawings. Your voice goes straight to my heart. We have something in common, I got polio when I was 5 years old (70 now). I was in insolation for months. It effected my right leg. I have been wearing a brace since. I graduated from high school in 1971. I am an artist also; it keeps me from depression. Been loving you forever. Peace Joni Mitchell.

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?

I bought this album in 1971 in Detroit; I'm listening to it tonight in Granada, Spain at the age of 75. The album retains it's pure molecular weight, timeless power, and beauty - like a gyroscope, like a comet, like flamenco cante jondo.

[@calebmurdock2028]

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.

You never knew who was going to pull out a guitar and start playing. I live on a farm in N. Central, FL now. I have the album in two forms and can't play either until I get them fixed.

[@benshuford702]

You can say that again. I can’t wait to leave SoCal!

She has the most perfect voice. I had this album on constant repeat when I was in college in 1971.

Me. too, Bouldet

[@Neotropix12]

i'm a huge fan of her compositions - also love norah jones for her voice

Perfect voice yes, and perfectly unique. You know in an instant who's singing -- as if she's reaching out to you alone, straight to the heart.

How lovely to read these comments and learn how much Joni Mitchell's brilliance, artistry and poetry have inspired sooo many people.

A Case of You, one of the greatest songs 💞

[@garypeatling7927]

Down to you , is genius so many different ways to interpret the same words depending on your mood

[@skygazer4251]

Yes, Case of you got me started on a lifetime of loving Joni. Saw her 3 times in concert. Lucky me.

This album cemented Joni as one of the GREATS, and she was only starting a brilliant career that inspired millions; I love her.

[@kemalkayankaya8713]

I only discovered Joni Mitchell a few months ago while zapping through TV stations and accidentally landing on "Both Sides Now: Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970". I became utterly entranced by her songs and fascinated by the fact that this seemingly shy, fragile, young woman managed to keep the crowd in check. My wife got me Blue as a christmas present and I love this hauntingly beautiful album.

[@skygazer4251]

Blue is uniquely special. It was, for many, their intro to Joni and, wow, there's never been an equal.

[@georgeverghis6566]

Love to you Joni and thanks from the millions of "lost and lonely ones" for your fabulous music over all these years! God Bless you.

[@fannyp5270]

It's true... this album feels more like it was written and sung by a like -minded friend than someone I've never met :) I live in a region where 'thinkers' are almost frowned upon, so knowing there are others, makes me feel happy and less alone. This album has SO much Soul :)

[@SmallwoodMedia]

Happy birthday, and thank you for making our world a more beautiful place, and thank you for always keeping it real. Peace.

I'm your age. Didn't ever listen to the radio in your youth? Sorry you didn't grow up with her. She's my comfort place has been since the 70's.

[@SportsKnowItAll11]

@@tamara8908 Hi. Yes, I listened to the radio, my red Panapet with the leash chain. Growing up in NE Wisconsin, I would tune into WLS Chicago when I went to bed. The first memorable song I listened to was Badfinger Day After Day. If WLS played Joni I have no recollection of her. My early teens i listened to whatever my sisters played The Raspberries, 3DN, America. I later loved Boston, Zeppelin, Fogelberg. Quite varied. You?

[@tamara8908]

@@SportsKnowItAll11 i grew up in Los Angeles.Some of the stuff I listened to Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Santana, Jethro Tull, Boston too. Plus saw all of them live. I loved Joni from the start. I'm glad that you are enjoying her now.

When and where did you see Boston? Would have loved to see them, especially in their original line up.

I just found this record at the record shop. The cover was very worn and looks to be from the 1970’s. I was so thrilled when the record played perfectly. Her music lives on and still resonates. Lovely album and brilliant musician.

[@richardgraves24]

With examples like this to follow, how did popular music get to the state it's in now?

I just love how the early releases have gone up in value. She is worth buying every album she ever produced. If you don't have Court and Spark you may have missed the boat.

Little Green has me thinking about a lot of things... The best Joni Mitchell song imo

[@Belano1911]

Once in a century, if that, an artist such a Joni Mitchell appears . She has a truly great gift - her lyrics go straight to the heart and soul of every one who hears them. Her tunes and her musicianship are peerless. You feel she knows what love for someone really is and the joy and sadness it can bring.

[@tonymiller6847]

She wrote several tunes about Graham Nash, one of her favorite dudes who also wrote great songs (Teach your Children) well" and many others.

[@maxinearcher-barrett3505]

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❤️

[@tonymiller6847]

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.

Little Green makes me cry every time. Joni is the gold standard for songwriters everywhere. The lyrics are so heartwrenching and beautiful.
