BLUE – JONI MITCHELL with special guest Barney Hoskyns.

Sad, spare, and beautiful, 'Blue' is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album. Forthright and poetic, Joni Mitchell's songs are raw nerves, tales of love and loss. Mitchell's music moves beyond the constraints of acoustic folk into more intricate and diverse territory, setting the stage for the experimentation of her later work. Unrivalled in its intensity and insight, 'Blue' remains a watershed.
