I am sure that I heard "Both Sides Now" on the radio but the song that made me really sit up and take notice was "Chelsea Morning". I loved to hear it on the radio when I was waking up.
My dad used to play this CD for me in the very early 00's when I was still in preschool when he would cook dinner and when I took a bath. This album is one of my all-time favorites and still brings me to tears as an adult. We are stardust, we are golden
i JUST HAD THE SAME EXPERINVCE, BUT NOT JUST music. Joni painted HER SONG, on the canvases of our minds and Hearts.... very healing. Leonard Cohen did it too, up in Canada, as did Neil Young... OH Ca ni da... You are on my mind and in my heart... GORDON Lightfoot, YOU ARE ON MY MIND... i SAILED WITH THE Canadian Navy ships At Sea. I feel those sailors on the Fitgerald having been on sinking ships at sea with your navy. Quarom niguhs do you have siffilus , . Dont fuck with me JEW TUBE NIGGERS
I am 71 and I always loved the voice, songs, looks of Joni and the ease with which she sings her original songs (as well as the traditional and well-known songs). Down to You is a favorite.
My girlfriend and I in 1970 played this endlessly. I taught her to play guitar from this music, but, man, she could sing! Long, straight hair, miniskirt, knee boots, terrific smile. I wore Fairchilds, T-shirts and Levis, and a scraggly beard. Just a couple of "college hippies". Life was simple, and good. Music was great! It still is.
I learned to sing from Joni and Judy. Studied how to harmonize--one of the two or three real gifts I've had in my life...Played this probably 500 times just after it came out...and after a while harmonized to every note. I helped a friend driving in a snowstorm from NY to DC from being bored by singing several of her albums straight through...Thank you Joni and Judy.
This album helped my find myself in the 80's as I drove through the canyons of Colorado in my Rambler and, listening tonight I am clearly still searching. Went from vinyl to a Walkman to CD's to here and now. Timeless. "Your'e bound to lose if you let the blues get you scared to feel. And I feel like I'm just being born, like a shiny light breaking in a storm..." Truth for now, hope for what is to come.
JONI MITCHELL - In life there are some people who are so talented they just don't realize the GIFT they give us by just being who they are. Thank you Joni.
This music defined my life in the 70's. I was living in Sun Valley, Idaho, recovering from the loss of my boyfriend in a plane crash, and the music soothed my soul so many times when I was grieving. Her music, and that of John Denver, Seals and Croft and others was such a wonderful reflection of the 70's. It was such a simpler time than now, devoid of all of the craziness of today's world.
@@denisebrucato9073 It was a long road, probably more so because I hadn't even gotten to college yet but I was old enough to feel love and affection. To say the least, it completely changed my life. Thank you for your kind words!
The Vietnam War had five more years to go so it wasn't competely devoid of craziness. But there seems there is nothing to compare with the music of the time.
Greatest hits collections are usually bad anyways so that's not really the best description, more like "this album is better than most artist's greatest album"
Hits should'nt come too close to each other or they will flatten each other out. In my opinon it's better in the context of a well composed album. But it's true the quality of her songs on any given album is greater than most musicians greates hits albums.
JONI MITCHELL - I became interested in Joni's music when I got older. She is truly a beautiful soul who has given the world so much of herself in her stories of her experiences. I find myself lost with her in the places she describes. Thank you Joni for giving me these beautiful experiences.
I totally agree she takes you to where she's singing about, whilst in hospital I would listen on my diskman with headphones and be transported to Morgan Town and the canyon. She makes everything a bit better
This album was produced by David Crosby. That's him, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash singing backup on "Circle Game" -- She was living with Graham Nash in Laurel Canyon at the time this album was made. This album was part of an incredible blossoming of music from that amazing intersection of time, place and people.
Indeed : what a wonderfull time that must have been!😊 Makin' music together. Love all over the place Let's take it as an example of what is possible; make love and turn it into music! Those were the days... Let's make this world a better place😉😁😌🙏👋👏💋
I still don't listen to CLOUDS and SEAGULL in full. This is the first Joni album, though, that forced me to listen start to finish, and I'd never stop. Then by COURT & SPARK, it was clear she had generations of music... first, second, and so on. Every three albums, it seems, were whole steps from the previous ones. She remains my favorite musical artist and composer.
l grew up in Denmark, and her songs defined my life up till 1976. From this Album to Hejira. Joni Mitchell was in front of everybody in those years. She was a pure genius in music and singer/songwriting. ❤
I heard this playing in a 2nd hand record shop many years ago, such a fantastic introduction to Joni's world. Sounds as fresh and timeless today, as it did back then.
As a preteen I fell in love Joni’s music listening to this and all her a early albums that my brother had . I would sneak into his room when he was off to college and let my imagination be carried away on a cloud of her magical voice and music.
The simple yet complex message in "For Free" spoke to me a half century a ago as it does today. What do we appreciate that is free? Thanks again, Joni.
It's such a blessing that Joni has decided to release her first albums in this way. I can still clearly remember the first time listening to Ladies of the Canyon and how startled I was to hear her play the piano in such an already very personal way. Joni has cited Laura Nyro as one of her major inspirations when she first started composing and you can clearly see this in some of the songs on this album. Thank you once again, sweet lady of these songs-canyon.
@@rosscarstairs1309 Help Me in 1972 did it for me and hooked ever since. 16 then 66 now. I had the unreal luck to speak to Joni in Ann Arbor the night before she played there in 1975. Lightning does strike twice as in 98, I got to speak to her again at LAX baggage claim. I had JUST ordered her concert on my flip phone as back then you had to call DirecTV for pay for view and it was the last showing of her Universal Amphitheatre concert. I turned around and BAM there is Joni looking in her purse for her baggage claim stubs. I waited patiently for her to look up and when she did I said "I am SO glad to see you. I just ordered your concert but didn't know I was ordering you!" She smiled and said "oh I didn't know there was another showing." I told her it was the last one that weekend. Shared I had just seen her with Van Morrison and Bob Dylan or as I put it " Van and Bob" only later to think "WHY DID I SAY VAN AND BOB" LOL
simple is better. Now we know or should know. Her music from this era 1968-1973 still makes me feel EXACTLY as it did then. I need her to live forever.
In the seventies I used to buy the best music I could afford, and Joni Mitchell healed my loneliness with her poetry and beautiful songs which I still listen today, after so many years.She has been my treasure island for which I am so grateful to her.
Last night I watched the documentary Laurel Canyon. It brought back so many memories as well as some tears. I graduated from Burbank High in 1968 and the music scene was very vibrant. Much was centered in Laurel Canyon and the feeling of camaraderie was beautiful. Sadly life's events overtook this. Last week David Crosby, who was a big part of this scene, passed away. However the memories and the legacy live on. Thank you Joni for your gifts and sharing with us with a wealth of wonderfully crafted songs.
This is one of my favorite albums of hers. I wish she would have never stopped making folk. The late 70s & 80s jazz was not her forte. Her folk was prodigious and beyond description.
I love that someone shared her music with me while I was so young Joni s Music almost hypnotized me and led me on a journey that put me in early spot lights I had no idea....between her some of my musical family my Mom and Brothers ...and Dad I was writing songs she was like a real inspiration and Muse to me I did nt know that anyone loved or wrote like her Forever indebted I love her so much ....x bless her soul no one like her a true Artist
Me too. Im still listening 🎧 my babies were born listening to Joni off grid. That was 40 years ago. My heart will never forget the power. Love and light to all 💕✌️
"We are stardust, billion year old carbon…" Woodstock is an extraordinary mantra. The anthem of a "woke" generation who didn't hit on the idea that they were newly awakened to something that everyone before had missed, though they could be sanctimonious.
I knew Joni was always still around but time passes and new artists came and went. I didn’t realize how very, very much I had missed her! Thanks so much Joni, now with these releases you’re on my forevermore playlist ❤️
I have the vinyl of a few of the albums and several on tape and all on CD, all transferred to my now old phone so I can listen wherever I go! I am listening to the above and I am mesmerised - back to the garden. Love.
Can't wait to hear her new response to regaining her powers after near death and several years of rehabilitaion. Blessed Be, Dear Creatrix! The joy of seeing you onstage again, flourishing, victorious after facing the end, again, lifted everyone so high! So inspired and glad to be on earth in your lifetime, able to hear and see your lively timeless art forms!
My first of many Joni albums, purchased upon its release.. So magical that I wore out the grooves within a yr... Thank you Joni, for being the soundtrack of my long life!!!
I don't even know what Telegram IS Joni... I'll see if I can find a more tech-savvy assistant! What's the prize anyway?!? btw, I met you back in the late 80s at your opening of your great art in Laguna Beach; I was a total fanboy, saying something articulate like, "I have always loved your music!" You were quite gracious.

The Truth that Joni’s Music is Ageless is Proven by the HUGE number of Replies seen here on this page. It is Extra-Ordinary & Most Wonderful how we all express our Love for Joni ❣️
I have always brushed this album off and focused all my attentions to The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira but I sat at my desktop with a good pair of headphones without distractions and I have fallen in love. Whilst nothing tops my admiration for those albums this was truly wonderful and definitely deserves to treated as one of her masterpieces.
Besides the big hits, I really like "For Free" and especially "Rainy Night House" from this album. The latter is even more fantastic on "Miles of Aisles"!
Brings back so many great memories of my youth. I was eleven and just starting to understand what life meant. Thanks for the fantastic music and the fond memories.
My Dorm Room at Adelphi University as a Dance Major from 1969 till 1972 was where I Listened and Learned All the Lyrics to Joni Mitchell's First Six Albums " Song to a Seagull " " Clouds " " Ladies of The Canyon " " Blue " " For the Roses " & " Court and Spark " The Painter The Poet The Singer The Songwriter The Producer The Artist Unafraid to Collaborate ! Who Inspired Generations for Nearly 60 years ... Who Inspired me to Go Above and Beyond my Capabilities ... To Strive .. Becoming a Dancer who " Painted with his Body " Not his Mind .. And I , The Dancer The Actor The Singer Who Went to The Juilliard School's Dance Department In 1972 Then Lived Off Campus by the Sea in Long Beach L.I. through My Graduation in 1973 1974 Saw me in Paris France Where Destiny Called me to become a Soloist at the Paris Opera's " Groupe de Recherche Theatrale de L Opera de Paris " Adelphi University was my " Coming of Age " with Joni and Singers like Laura Nyro Crosby Stills Nash & Young The Incredible String Band Elton John's 1st Album & All the Rock and Roll Bands of that Era were just plain Awesome , But Joni Mitchell saw me Through " My Own little World of Stardom " When there were Times when I thought that I Couldn't Conceal my own Angst ... And the Fear of Falling off that Cliff of Success !!! Without Joni Mitchell's Power of Transformational Music , I don't know if I Would have Made It ! All 19 of her Studio Albums Have Had Lifelong Impressions and Inspiration on me that are Indescribable ... We Survived the Hallucinogenic Era and the Free Love of the 60's & 70's ... I still shed Joyous " Tears at the Falling of a Star " And the MUSIC of Joni Mitchell ... Her Artistry will Endure Long after we've Gone !!! The Year 2000 saw one of Joni's most Moving Albums ... Aptly Entitled " Both Sides Now " Where she sang " Standards " with a Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra ... And her Renditions of " A Case of You " and " Both Sides Now " were Hauntingly Beautiful ...She sang them in her Alto Range ... I was Stunned at the Depth of her Voice ... I Say Thank You Joni for Your Lifeswork ... What a Great Artist And the Men in her Life Both Personal and Professional ... James Taylor , Leonard Cohen , Bob Dylan , Charlie Mingus , Brian Blade . Graham Nash , David Crosby to name just a Few What a Life ... She Overcame Polio and an Anyeurysm ( and Stroke ) She Fought her way back to Health ... Wow !!! Defying her Doctor's and her " Naysayers " She's come " Back to Life " Many Times ... We Love You Joni Mitchell !!! And Our Gratitude is Unending !!!
This is absolutely my favorite Joni album. She is a great gift from Canida, and ran with the greats from the 60s on. Thanks Joni, and whom ever put this great Joni Mitchel album on line finally. The album art..? Yes Jomi painted that from her heart and it is ..
Wimbledon, England, 1970. Bought the album,(not for myself but a , last minute birthday present for my younger brother). It was to be my initiation into a life long following the works of Joni.
The second track on this album, For Free, has to be one of the most alluring songs of the entire album. Sometimes I'll get a spontaneous 'ear worm' from this piece and it takes a mighty effort to dislodge it!
To describe the genius of one Joni Mitchell, this album encompasses alot of her life's experiences and she wasn't afraid to write it down and let us all share with her. Besides the fact it is some pretty creative stuff, easy on the ears, and you can understand what she is saying.
Yet another classic album that stands the test of time even 50+ years later. I remember seeing Joni many mornings in a little cafe on the corner of Thompson and Prince in Soho (NYC) in 1986/87. She must have been living in the area at the time, just as I was. She always sat by herself at a little table by the window writing in one journal or another (she usually had more than one). I never interrupted her or asked for her autography even though I wanted to. Our eyes did meet a couple of times, but all I could do was nod in recognition of her pure genius. I remember it vividly because I had just come back from living in Europe and I really hated my job at the time. I was just starting to lean into being a writer and seeing her on those special mornings gave me the reassurance that art and commerce can indeed co-exist. It was partly because of her that I quit that job and eventually moved to southern California, where I often had the pleasure of cruising up and down Laurel and Coldwater Canyon in a zippy little convertible. Shine on Joni Mitchell, Shine on!
I lived close to Topanga Canyon when this came out, so of course I assumed she wrote about that canyon. Played this album non-stop! A magical time for Joni music❤

I have loved her and her music since i was 16 I'm 70 this year ❤❤❤
I bought my daughter BLUE when she was 14.
Same for me, turning 71 this year :)
I am sure that I heard "Both Sides Now" on the radio but the song that made me really sit up and take notice was "Chelsea Morning". I loved to hear it on the radio when I was waking up.
Same of me. I'm 66. So much emotion when I hear this now.
Ohmygosh - Same here!! 🙃
My dad used to play this CD for me in the very early 00's when I was still in preschool when he would cook dinner and when I took a bath. This album is one of my all-time favorites and still brings me to tears as an adult. We are stardust, we are golden
How lucky you are to have thar memory.
❤❤
Music is healing.
No matter the artist.
Got me out of my depression.
i JUST HAD THE SAME EXPERINVCE, BUT NOT JUST music. Joni painted HER SONG, on the canvases of our minds and Hearts.... very healing. Leonard Cohen did it too, up in Canada, as did Neil Young... OH Ca ni da... You are on my mind and in my heart... GORDON Lightfoot, YOU ARE ON MY MIND... i SAILED WITH THE Canadian Navy ships At Sea. I feel those sailors on the Fitgerald having been on sinking ships at sea with your navy. Quarom niguhs do you have siffilus , . Dont fuck with me JEW TUBE NIGGERS
Jew fuckin toob niguhs
I am 71 and I always loved the voice, songs, looks of Joni and the ease with which she sings her original songs (as well as the traditional and well-known songs). Down to You is a favorite.
My girlfriend and I in 1970 played this endlessly. I taught her to play guitar from this music, but, man, she could sing! Long, straight hair, miniskirt, knee boots, terrific smile. I wore Fairchilds, T-shirts and Levis, and a scraggly beard. Just a couple of "college hippies". Life was simple, and good. Music was great! It still is.
nice story man, thanks for sharing
I learned to sing from Joni and Judy. Studied how to harmonize--one of the two or three real gifts I've had in my life...Played this probably 500 times just after it came out...and after a while harmonized to every note.

JONI MITCHELL - In life there are some people who are so talented they just don't realize the GIFT they give us by just being who they are. Thank you Joni.
I hope she knows.
It's a relief to find like minded people here even if it is electronic only. I don't feel so lonely knowing you're all here!
This music defined my life in the 70's. I was living in Sun Valley, Idaho, recovering from the loss of my boyfriend in a plane crash, and the music soothed my soul so many times when I was grieving. Her music, and that of John Denver, Seals and Croft and others was such a wonderful reflection of the 70's. It was such a simpler time than now, devoid of all of the craziness of today's world.
I can't imagine the pain you endured when you lost your boyfriend in that way. I hope you are in a good place, now.
@@denisebrucato9073 It was a long road, probably more so because I hadn't even gotten to college yet but I was old enough to feel love and affection. To say the least, it completely changed my life. Thank you for your kind words!
I just got chills.
The Vietnam War had five more years to go so it wasn't competely devoid of craziness. But there seems there is nothing to compare with the music of the time.
I was there I the 70's too. Music for our soul.
..I'm 68..her angelic voice and poetry..lifted my spirit then and does now..what a blessing..
Check out Katherine Priddy and the Case/Lang/viers album
I discovered her recently and I totally fell in love with her music and her voice. No one touch my heart like she does.❤
Newcomer to Joni here: I thought I'd never find an album like Blue ever again, but this is just as amazing! I'm so happy!! 😍😍
This album is better than most artists' greatest hits collections.
As a cohesive work of art, it's better than Joni's Greatest Hits
@@lukehauser1182so are most of her albums, to be fair
Greatest hits collections are usually bad anyways so that's not really the best description, more like "this album is better than most artist's greatest album"
Hits should'nt come too close to each other or they will flatten each other out. In my opinon it's better in the context of a well composed album. But it's true the quality of her songs on any given album is greater than most musicians greates hits albums.
My favourite Joni album ❤
This album contains some of the most beautiful music ever written, played and sung. Thank you, Joni! :)
Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark are all so incredible
The mix is perfect too!! I'm 55 and just learning how great she is! The bullshit music today can't touch this.
Hard to know if it's more genius than any other particular album of hers... :)
JONI MITCHELL - I became interested in Joni's music when I got older. She is truly a beautiful soul who has given the world so much of herself in her stories of her experiences. I find myself lost with her in the places she describes. Thank you Joni for giving me these beautiful experiences.

3 CHORD DRUGGIES OWN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joni transcends my lifetime. I woke up knowing I wanted to go listen to "Ladies of the Canyon" today, because I feel like one ....
Joni's beautiful artistry and gentle soul was the perfect antidote to the ugly violence of the Vietnam war.
Well said!
One of the best albums ever

Indeed : what a wonderfull time that must have been!😊
Makin' music together.
Love all over the place
Let's take it as an example of what is possible; make love and turn it into music!
Those were the days...
Let's make this world a better place😉😁😌🙏👋👏💋
I don't really care:
I get to hear Joni sing,
and not least:
Playing her guitar!
Is this the big-ass Guild??

This is a gem when you are on planet earth
The best medicine I know.....for all that life can throw at us. Thank you so much Joni!
Thank you Joni!! I still have all of your music on vinyl, I think I have it all memorized. You were the shining star in my darkness. Be well.
Me also. In better place I often break into song with Joni when in a music bar, like you it is all imprinted. I lift, I fall, I feel.
I wore though the high tones on my vinyl albums in the 90’s. Been using CD’s since. 50 years of music.
l grew up in Denmark, and her songs defined my life up till 1976. From this Album to Hejira. Joni Mitchell was in front of everybody in those years. She was a pure genius in music and singer/songwriting. ❤
I will always come back to Joni Mitchell - there is something deeply, spiritually healing about her music.
Morgan Town..such a beautiful song. Memories of happy times and love and hope. The whole album is a treasure 🌈
Chelsea Morning too
This album and the next "Blue" are the best that Joni Mitchell has recorded, a peak of certainly the best period of her life and also the happiest.
I heard this playing in a 2nd hand record shop many years ago, such a fantastic introduction to Joni's world. Sounds as fresh and timeless today, as it did back then.
Happy 81st birthday, Joni!
Lived in Beverly Glen Canyon and worked at the Troubadour then. Wonderful time to be alive!
You were blessed 😊

timeless music. I get stuck on this album and for the roses. Used to play this over and over as a teen.
The simple yet complex message in "For Free" spoke to me a half century a ago as it does today. What do we appreciate that is free? Thanks again, Joni.
Yes!! My most listened to cut. I think it’s a stunning song/poem about us
In 1972 I heard for the first time Joni Mitchell and today After 51 years her music still impresses me every day to the bottom of my heart 45:02
Thank you, Joni, for "playing real good for free." 🙏💃😘🎆
I’ve loved Joni since 1968 when I was 11. I’m now 66 and no one has surpassed her ❤
Songs come and go, but Joni is timeless.
everso

Joni s Music almost hypnotized me and led me on a journey that put me in early spot lights I had no idea....between her some of my musical family my Mom and Brothers ...and Dad
I was writing songs she was like a real inspiration and Muse to me
I did nt know that anyone loved or wrote like her
Forever indebted I love her so much ....x bless her soul no one like her a true Artist
Never heard this album before since I just recently started getting into Joni. What a beautiful way to start the morning. Her voice is so ethereal 💖
Just sublime; the title track is one of my all-time favourite songs.
Me as well. My friend Estra Estrella Berosini is Circus Girl mentioned in the song.
Laurel Canyon in the 60's. WOW
One of the first albums I bought, 1970 on Reprise Records 🥰
Me too. Im still listening 🎧 my babies were born listening to Joni off grid. That was 40 years ago. My heart will never forget the power. Love and light to all 💕✌️
The end of Rainy Night House, with Joni singing all the choral parts, is just magical. Then again, the whole album is magical!!
This album is on a league of his own
"We are stardust, billion year old carbon…" Woodstock is an extraordinary mantra. The anthem of a "woke" generation who didn't hit on the idea that they were newly awakened to something that everyone before had missed, though they could be sanctimonious.
What a pure talent
What a shining star Joni always was and always will be ❤️
My favourite album by a solo artist. Rainy Night House is in a class of its own and the piano work on the album is sublime
I knew Joni was always still around but time passes and new artists came and went. I didn’t realize how very, very much I had missed her! Thanks so much Joni, now with these releases you’re on my forevermore playlist ❤️
I turn on her music, close my eyelids, and visit the Salon her music displays in my mind's eye.
Joni’s music has me going back to Ny summer days at camp meeting and playing all kinds of things with friends.
I have the album, bought the cassette and CD, too. The songs have been important throughout my life, and I’m grateful for your brilliance.
I have the vinyl of a few of the albums and several on tape and all on CD, all transferred to my now old phone so I can listen wherever I go! I am listening to the above and I am mesmerised - back to the garden. Love.
Said it before, will say it again.
We love you Joni!
Joni Mitchell is a living legend ❤
Hello Helen, how are you doing?
Arguably her best album.
I choked up many times while listening this masterpiece. thank you, Joni Mitchell.
Honestly, life without music, well, thank god for music....Ms. Mitchell is incredible whether she likes it ir not!
This entire album played will heal your heart
One of the only things I can thank my ex husband for. Thankyou Joni 👍💕
Hello there Barbry, how are you doing?
Can't wait to hear her new response to regaining her powers after near death and several years of rehabilitaion.
Blessed Be, Dear Creatrix!
The joy of seeing you onstage again, flourishing, victorious after facing the end, again, lifted everyone so high!
So inspired and glad to be on earth in your lifetime, able to hear and see your lively timeless art forms!
💕💕💕💕
My first of many Joni albums, purchased upon its release.. So magical that I wore out the grooves within a yr...
Thank you Joni, for being the soundtrack of my long life!!!
I don't even know what Telegram IS Joni... I'll see if I can find a more tech-savvy assistant! What's the prize anyway?!?
btw, I met you back in the late 80s at your opening of your great art in Laguna Beach; I was a total fanboy, saying something articulate like, "I have always loved your music!" You were quite gracious.
Likewise!
The soundtrack of mý life too
Let LIESBETH LAMPER from BLADZIJ 13 in GOES

The Truth that Joni’s Music is Ageless is Proven by the HUGE number of Replies seen here on this page. It is Extra-Ordinary & Most Wonderful how we all express our Love for Joni ❣️
Joni wrote the soundtrack for our lives.
I was today years old when I realized after listening to this album for half a century that the first and last tracks use a symmetrical accompaniment.
I have always brushed this album off and focused all my attentions to The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira but I sat at my desktop with a good pair of headphones without distractions and I have fallen in love. Whilst nothing tops my admiration for those albums this was truly wonderful and definitely deserves to treated as one of her masterpieces.
The first eight studio albums from Seagull to Hejira are all masterpieces imo. An incredible achievement.

Timeless is just an understatement...what a wonderful way to start the day😊
How could you not love this woman...?
I finally pulled out this album after many years in storage and listen to it several times a week along with my other folk music. Still sounds great!😊
Besides the big hits, I really like "For Free" and especially "Rainy Night House" from this album. The latter is even more fantastic on "Miles of Aisles"!
Me too!👍🏻❤️☮️
Each if these 12 songs is among the best ever written.
All. Her. Albums take. Me. Back in. Time.
Brings back so many great memories of my youth. I was eleven and just starting to understand what life meant. Thanks for the fantastic music and the fond memories.
Yes!!!! Joni spoke the truth and so eloquently - her lyrics endure.
Truly a brilliant artist and she will shine forevermore ...
My Dorm Room at Adelphi University as a Dance Major from 1969 till 1972 was where I Listened and Learned All the Lyrics to Joni Mitchell's
First Six Albums
" Song to a Seagull "
" Clouds "
" Ladies of The Canyon "
" Blue "
" For the Roses " &
" Court and Spark "
The Painter
The Poet
The Singer
The Songwriter
The Producer
The Artist Unafraid to
Collaborate ! Who Inspired
Generations for Nearly 60 years ... Who Inspired me to Go Above and Beyond my Capabilities ... To Strive .. Becoming a Dancer who
" Painted with his Body "
Not his Mind ..
And I , The Dancer
The Actor
The Singer
Who Went to
The Juilliard School's
Dance Department
In 1972 Then Lived
Off Campus by the Sea in Long Beach L.I. through My Graduation in 1973
1974 Saw me in Paris France Where Destiny Called me to become a Soloist at the Paris Opera's
" Groupe de Recherche Theatrale de L Opera de Paris "
Adelphi University was my " Coming of Age " with
Joni and Singers like
Laura Nyro
Crosby Stills Nash & Young
The Incredible String Band
Elton John's 1st Album &
All the Rock and Roll Bands of that Era were just plain
Awesome , But Joni Mitchell saw me Through
" My Own little World of
Stardom " When there were
Times when I thought that I Couldn't Conceal my own Angst ... And the Fear of
Falling off that Cliff of
Success !!!
Without Joni Mitchell's
Power of Transformational
Music , I don't know if I
Would have Made It !
All 19 of her Studio Albums
Have Had Lifelong Impressions and Inspiration on me that are
Indescribable ...
We Survived the Hallucinogenic Era and the Free Love of the 60's & 70's ...
I still shed Joyous " Tears at the Falling of a Star "
And the MUSIC of
Joni Mitchell ... Her Artistry will Endure
Long after we've Gone !!!
The Year 2000 saw one of Joni's most Moving
Albums ... Aptly Entitled
" Both Sides Now "
Where she sang
" Standards " with a Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra ...
And her Renditions of
" A Case of You " and
" Both Sides Now " were
Hauntingly Beautiful ...She sang them in her Alto Range ... I was Stunned at the Depth of her Voice ...
I Say Thank You Joni for Your Lifeswork ...
What a Great Artist
And the Men in her Life
Both Personal and Professional ... James Taylor , Leonard Cohen ,
Bob Dylan , Charlie Mingus , Brian Blade .
Graham Nash , David
Crosby to name just a Few
What a Life ...
She Overcame Polio and
an Anyeurysm ( and Stroke ) She Fought her way back to Health ... Wow !!!
Defying her Doctor's and her " Naysayers "
She's come " Back to Life "
Many Times ...
We Love You
Joni Mitchell !!!
And Our Gratitude is
Unending !!!

This is absolutely my favorite Joni album. She is a great gift from Canida, and ran with the greats from the 60s on. Thanks Joni, and whom ever put this great Joni Mitchel album on line finally. The album art..? Yes Jomi painted that from her heart and it is ..
Yes, the album Blue is good, but this one is wonderful.
Blue is best! ☺️ (my opinion) This is a close second
@@connieanderson2281 I find it difficult to rank them. : )
Nah Blue is far better. This is also amazing btw
@@afraerika I find it difficult to rank one over the other.
Hejira triumphs all
Angelic, pacifying, so memorable...🙏🙏
Wimbledon, England, 1970. Bought the album,(not for myself but a , last minute birthday present for my younger brother). It was to be my initiation
into a life long following the works of Joni.
Pure beauty !!
Pure Truth!!
😎💝🕷❣
This album is a true folk masterpiece. 12 great songs that touch the heart of every listener
Timeless....Like a diamond.
I really love her work.
I, like many others, loved listening to this album over and over and over again, staring at the beautiful artwork and dreaming 🦋
Joni Mitchell Priceless!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Magnifique artiste, une belle âme... elle incarne tant de choses, magiques...
D'accord.
I have followed her since college in St Louis
Extreme talent and unforgettable beauty
左手の握力がないためにみずから考えたさまざまな変則チューニングからうまれる曲は独特な雰囲気がありますね❗ピアノも素晴らしいです。イギリスは正統的な音楽が流行りましたがアメリカではこの人と仲間たち､ビーチボーイズがわざとベースの音をはずしたりいわゆる正統的でない音楽が主流になりました。正統的でない音楽は、リラックスして聴けます🎵
The second track on this album, For Free, has to be one of the most alluring songs of the entire album. Sometimes I'll get a spontaneous 'ear worm' from this piece and it takes a mighty effort to dislodge it!
To describe the genius of one Joni Mitchell, this album encompasses alot of her life's experiences and she wasn't afraid to write it down and let us all share with her. Besides the fact it is some pretty creative stuff, easy on the ears, and you can understand what she is saying.
Such joy listening to this album going on train from Paris to Avignon to visit good friends! Joni’s music always a joy to hear.
Gorgeous lyrics/poetry Joni. Not to mention the gorgeous piano. Just love this perfectly artistic album. Wish I owned it. -Adele.
Yet another classic album that stands the test of time even 50+ years later. I remember seeing Joni many mornings in a little cafe on the corner of Thompson and Prince in Soho (NYC) in 1986/87. She must have been living in the area at the time, just as I was. She always sat by herself at a little table by the window writing in one journal or another (she usually had more than one). I never interrupted her or asked for her autography even though I wanted to. Our eyes did meet a couple of times, but all I could do was nod in recognition of her pure genius. I remember it vividly because I had just come back from living in Europe and I really hated my job at the time. I was just starting to lean into being a writer and seeing her on those special mornings gave me the reassurance that art and commerce can indeed co-exist. It was partly because of her that I quit that job and eventually moved to southern California, where I often had the pleasure of cruising up and down Laurel and Coldwater Canyon in a zippy little convertible. Shine on Joni Mitchell, Shine on!
O trabalho da Joni é totalmente envolvente, iluminado, inspirador, e grandioso!
Que espetáculo de artista!
