A Case of 'Blue': Perspectives on a Joni Mitchell Masterwork
June 1971. Just another singer/songwriter with a dulcimer singing her life with her words, set to melodies that sometimes echoed a Miles Davis trumpet solo. No biggie. Until it became a biggie, one of the most influential albums of any era, still working its magic 50 years later.
