Blue is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Exploring the various facets of relationships from infatuation on "A Case of You" to insecurity on "This Flight Tonight", the songs feature simple accompaniments on piano, guitar and Appalachian dulcimer. The album peaked at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, number 9 on the Canadian RPM Albums Chart and number 15 on the Blllboard 200.

Joni Mitchell’s Newest Album Is ‘Blue’: Greenville News, July 12, 1971. Joni’s ‘Blue’ and Rundgren’s ‘Ballad’: Summer Campus (SMU), July 15, 1971. 45 years later, Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' is still the perfect album for Minnesota winters: CityPages (Minneapolis), December 15, 2016. June 22: Joni Mitchell Released Her Brilliant Album 'Blue' in 1971: BornToListen.

Released June 22, 1971. 1. All I Want Lyrics. With song after song of regrets and sorrow, this may be the ultimate breakup album. Its whispery minimalism is also Mitchell’s greatest musical achievement.

The quintessential singer-songwriter album, its essence just Joni on acoustic guitar or piano, alone with her intimate, confessional songs. Joni Mitchell would go on from this '71 recording to make more popular, more ambitious, and more challenging albums, but she's never made a better one.

Joni Mitchell highlights all of her singing and song writing talent in Blue, crafting each song with utmost care. Each element of the album is composed with unrivalled passion, from the magic lyrics to the heartfelt vocals. That said, many listeners will drop out after one quick listen.

Joni Mitchell’s singing, her songwriting, her whole presence give off a feeling of vulnerability that one seldom encounters even in the most arty reaches of the music business. In For Free, her one song about songwriting, she declared that she sang for fortune and those velvet curtain calls. Blue is overall the freest, brightest, most cheerfully rhythmic album Joni has yet released.
