Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners

I just got this CD and I love the honesty and emotion of it. Her voice is wonderful. I have some of her newer ones, but her voice and her raw emotion are so much better on Blue.

The recording is a little thin and wonder if there is a better version out there? Where do I get it? Last, can you Joni fans tell me which other albums are like Blue. I want to buy more of her stuff, but want the emotion, voice and style of Blue.

I know I should be more familiar with Blue as I am 44, but I just played it for the first time today. Now this is art!

I have no idea what these other posts are talking about.

Blue is an excellent recording -- my copy is one of my favorite test CDs. Will check the version for you, but I don't think there is anything special about it.

It's not hi fi ish, but it's a very good, non fatiguing recording with an uncanny, almost spooky presence in the vocals.

But whether you believe that or not, there should be no debate that artistically, Blue is a masterpiece and a classic.

Never thought about this before, but yes, perhaps I did buy my copy of Blue at Tower Records, London.

It's definitely not harsh.
