Day 0230 - Blue

Joni Mitchell "Blue" (1971)


Incredibly stripped down arrangements characterise this intimate and personal sounding album.  The delicate and melodic sounds must surely have influenced a generation of storytelling songwriters (I definitely hear the seeds of one of my favourites, Regina Spektor in there).

Mitchell's voice is somehow fragile, yet strong; vulnerable, yet bold.
