Reissued through Rhino 55 years on, Joni Mitchell's Blue album is by far her most renowned, being the one to prompt Kris Kristofferson's famous, half-joking plea: "save something for yourself, Joni!" Understood as one of her most nakedly autobiographical records, 'Little Green', 'California' and 'The Last Time I Saw Richard' are but a handful of songs here tracking her own relationships and emotional state at the cusp of the 70s, at which time she'd just split up with Crosby, Stills & Nash's Graham Nash. Intimate and revealing, Mitchell's voice and lyrics evoke pretty garlands, roadhouse get-togethers and a newfound sense of freedom, before a tonal shift in the latter third unearths the grief underneath.
Audiophile release of Joni's classic 1971 album cut from original analog masters by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on 180g at Optimal. 4-panel insert featuring a Q&A with Joni about the making of the album.
