Joni Mitchell

[LemonMelon]

Tonight, I listened to both Blue and Court & Spark for the first time.

I've been owned.

Court & Spark is one of the greatest albums ever created. I'm listening to it AGAIN, something I rarely ever do after listening to two albums by the same artist.

Blue unfortunately didn't have that kind of impact on me. It sounded Nick Drake-ish, except with the whole "one man with his guitar" thing replaced by "one woman with her piano" (and Stephen Stills on guitar). I prefer the former.
Still, I'll keep with it and no doubt love it eventually, even if it takes a heartbreak and/or a rainy day to do the trick.

I shall continue my journey with this fabulously talented woman, and hopefully find more albums to love by her.

So...any other fans here?

I think her song, case of you, is one of the greatest love songs ever
