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!

Just received the latest Japanese reissues CDs (late 2006) of Ladies of the Canyon, Court and Spark and Blue. Ladies and Court sound excellent while Blue seems to be a bit on the brittle side. This may be because of the dulcimers sound plus the sparse instumentation on the album. I've owned Court and Blue on gold CD and if memory serves the gold Blue was the best I've heard. I would recommend the Japanese Ladies and Court but not the Blue. Planning on purchasing Clouds, Hissing and Hejira in the near future.
