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

+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

rich,

that's another good article, thanks,

I can't find my BLUE LP, it's buried in the ones I inherited. And don't have a CD version!!!!!!!

Just ordered sealed 180g re-issue

Speaking of Blue, I cannot find my LP of Blue Nile's 'Walk Across the Rooftops' either. I have several copies of the CD. For those that don't know, Linn Records decided to show how good their TT's were by issuing their own LP's, re-perfected recording, cutting, mastering ... and I pre-ordered their first LP, 001, which was this one. Wonderful dynamics throughout, I love his voice, the songs and music are interesting, not confessional. I just listened to it over and over on my 6 hr drive up here to Maine.

made offer
