Joni Mitchell – Blue (RSD '22 Clear Pressing)

Often hailed as her masterpiece, Blue is a deeply confessional folk-album in which Joni Mitchell lays bare her emotions with vivid lyricism and sparse instrumentation. Written during a turbulent period of heartbreak and self-reflection, she described it as the “purest emotional record” she would ever make.

Tracks like “A Case of You”, “River”, and “Little Green” are threaded with themes of love, regret, freedom, and loss — each song feels like a brushstroke painting her inner world.

Critically, Blue is widely ranked among the greatest albums of all time, praised for its lyrical vulnerability and musical simplicity.
