The album is called "Blue"... (Circa 1970)

Yeah, in fact I always thought "Carrie" was the weakest cut. Those refs
to white linen and cologne, and Ms. Mitchell in her "fey" mode... I
guess it's OK for you to like it though. 8)
Seriously, it's many people's favorite Joni Mitchell album, and if you
like pop songwriting there are more than a couple of cuts there worth
some attention. A couple of things I like -- her guitar-composed songs
have very different character and coloring than her piano-composed ones.
She seems to follow her own ear in her songwriting choices -- you don't
see many bits of earlier styles pop up in her stuff (at least by the
time of this, her 4th album) -- which is probably what Charles Mingus
saw in her (not to mention Prince and others who have praised her). - Jay

| Geez, so far everyone has spelled it incorrectly, the title of the
song is "Carey". Most Joni fans would proabbly place "Blue" as the
one to own if you only want one album.

| 175.5 | And another favourite... | CLARID::CHARLES | | Wed Mar 25 1992 05:59 | 2 |

Unless you have a soft spot for .... "Court & Spark"
|
| 175.6 | Trina, etc. | BUSY::JMINVILLE | | Thu Mar 26 1992 15:39 | 1 |
| Or a soft spot for "Ladies of The Canyon".
|
| 175.7 | | VERGA::CLARK | | Thu Mar 26 1992 16:30 | 4 |
| And, having played "Ladies of the Canyon", "Blue", the true-fine "For
the Roses", and "Court & Spark" so much that I don't need to hear them
again for a long long time... I vote "Hejira". Aside from a cut or two
I skip over, I say it's as good as the others. - Jay

| 175.8 | Mingus! | AYOV18::BCOOK | the only dance there is | Mon Mar 30 1992 05:50 | 5 |
| Well, since this has degraded into X album is the best...
My personal favourite is Mingus. Very different.
