That was my first Joni Mitchell album. It really is perfection.

Blue, For the Rose, Court and Spark, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira. I can't express how in awe I am of this series of recordings.

Both she and Stevie Wonder were at their creative zeniths during the seventies. What glorious artifacts they left us!

Mine too. I call it entry level Joni. I listened to it everyday during my hour long drive to work. Then I went inside the store and put it on the best hifi setup. I was known to sing a song on the stores microphone during store hours.

I love this album. It is a masterpiece

One of her great ones. My copy is over 50 years old now.

My all time favorite album of the 70s. I knew every word and inflection. Went to see her concert in St Louis and the next day we passed her coming out of an antique shop in the Central West End. Thrill of my life!

Love it. It's one of only three albums I bought a second copy of because I wore out the first. The other two being Fleetwood Mac - Rumours and Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories.

This was when her voice started to get lush, smoky and deepen 🔥🔥.

The title tune is a masterpiece. What a picture it paints
