Joni Mitchell, the Canadian singer / songwriter / guitarist / pianist / genius, released her fourth album, Blue, 50 years ago today on June 22, 1971.
Blue is great but understated. It's often clever, never pretentious.
Rolling Stone ranked it the third "greatest album" by anyone!
So many lines from Blue stay in mind:
I wanna talk to you, I wanna shampoo you, I wanna renew you … I wanna make you feel free …
He's a walker in the rain, he's a dancer in the dark …
I could drink a case of you … and I would still be on my feet …
