Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article

My copy of the reissue of Blue sounds excellent!  It is a wonderful album of music, the SQ is superb and the vinyl is very quiet.  Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Love the Blue!

+1 Ann Power’s article as mentioned by @tomic601.
Ann Power is about as eloquent and insightful an observer of popular music as exists today. Her article comparing the minimalism of both Blue and Kind of Blue, among other insights, is a great read. 
Highly recommended!

Just thought to add some Blue history to this thread

I'm sure bdp24 can add additional color to this. Just another period of music that will never be matched.

good mentions of other articles, thanks.

here's the link to Ann Powers' NPR article with intelligent observations of Joni Mitchell and Mile's Davis
