Loved her music and persona for over 50 years. She’s the object of Robert Plants performance of Going to California. She’s the pride of both Saskatoon and Laurel Canyon. A great Canadian songwriter along with her contemporaries Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, etc.l….
This is another one of those albums that's so great that almost any song could be my favourite on any given day. The Last Time I Saw Richard is the perfect closer and is entirely without flaw; but today, the title song is the one. It's one of her most nakedly emotional songs, and the melody and construction of the song is extraordinary. The lyric is one of her greatest, so sparse, yet ingenious, with its extended seafaring simile. And her vocal delivery slays me.
Joni's playing of the mountain dulcimer on this album, and in particular... this song, is for me one of the most important aspects of this piece of art. It's such an intimate instrument.
I love how you two allow yourselves to be swept up in the emotions of the music. I'm Canadian and I remember learning Joni and Neil Youngs songs in music class. Blue is my favorite album of hers.
Whenever I hear the songs from Blue and Ladies of the Canyon I am instantly transported back to my freshman dorm room at college more than 50 years ago.
Blue is a truly, truly, wonderful album. Every song is a gem and her voice is beyond wonderful. I've heard it lots of times since the early 70s (I'm on my 3rd copy), but it still bring tears to my eyes. (PS. As an Anglo Brit, at 73 I still get really brown every time I go to Spain. Har Har)
You guys, seriously, Hejira is her masterwork and it’s just so amazing. Coyote, Amelia, A Strange Boy, just front to back classics, plus your faves Jaco Pastorius, Larry Carlton, and John Guerin. It’s the perfect road trip album, as it’s about her road trip across the US. One of the best albums ever made.
Joni Mitchell (ft. Jaco Pastorius) - Coyote | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION ua-cam.com/video/1GnY_iap3po/v-deo.html We also did Amelia from this album!! SO GOOD! Need to revisit!
@ how did I not know that? Sorry. Well obvs the rest of the record is fantastic. Just listen to it straight through by yourselves in the car or whatever, it’s worth it just for you guys, not necessarily to put up here for us.
Pure loveliness. I seem to recall this being JP's favorite. Sad to hear that his father recently passed. The four albums I had and enjoyed were "Court & Spark", "Miles of Aisles" "Mingus" and "Hissing of Summer Lawns" The live version of "Circle Game" may well be the most timeless and important. Her cover of "Twisted" is also a must-hear, along with "God Must Be a Boogie Man" with Jaco.
Always enjoy your Joni Mitchell reactions. 'Blue' is just such a great album throughout. Sublime. Would highly recommend an earlier track of hers named "The Circle Game". A great soothing tune. This the song that inspired Led Zeppelin's "Going To California". Makes all the sense after you know it.
Stephen Caruso at work - this is why I asked for Blue as my November album selection - this is my favorite song and between this song and Led Zeppelin doing Going to California it was the reason why I wanted to live here and I love this state so much warts and all - I have been here 43 years permanently 47 on and off .. now that i know that Blue is already heard by Alexia then you can ignore it
Nooooo!! I was SO looking forward to the opportunity of listening to this with Nick. I was SO happy when your Blue nomination come up!! Hope you don’t change it!! 🤞🥺
Canada's greatest female musical export. There is a song by Joni called 'Carey'. It is of course a beautiful song. Heavy radio play back in the day. It never gets old. BTW, believe it or not, the song was covered by a band with the initials SD. You may have heard of them. Would be a nice play to hear both and contrast. Great reaction folks...
I bought this album for my daughter when she was 14 bc she’s such a Swiftee and I wanted her to experience an iconic singer/songwriter from another time. She didn’t get Joni, but maybe one day.
Joni dated David Crosby and literally broke up with him by a song she wrote and performed in front of him. She then dated Graham Nash who wrote the song "our house" for her.
While most fans know Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" was written for Joni, most don't know Joni returned the favor on her follow-up album to Blue, For The Roses. Joni wrote her homage to LZ with "Blonde in the Bleachers". She sings from the perspective of being a fan/ groupie of the rock and roll band. ❤
I don't know that it was a specific hommage to LZ, since she had her own experiences with big pop-rock stars of the times, David Crosby, Graham Nash, and in 1972, she'd just broken up with James Taylor. Many of the songs refer directly to Taylor (See You Sometime, Cold Blue Steel, For The Roses).
she had a relationship with james taylor around this time and he plays guitar on a lot of tracks, the title track of Blue is about him and his time on heroin
This is a song that "zooms" me back to a particular place and time, that being the bathroom at our family's house, when I was 14. My oldest sister had moved back home after my dad died, and we would be putting on makeup together in the morning, me before school and she before work. This song was often on the radio then, (and yes,we had a radio in the bathroom! I still do, although now it is always tuned to NPR.) We always sang along to Joni. I believe at this time she was in a relationship with James Taylor, after having been with both Crosby and Nash. James played guitar on 4 songs here, and she sang backup on 3 of his Mud Slide Slim songs. She never dated fellow Canadian Neil Young, but she's known him the longest, having met him at a club in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1964, when they were both on the folk circuit. You guys really MUST do a full album reaction to Blue! It is a short album, like you said, then you can enjoy the whole thing together anytime you want! Glad to see your beautiful brown eyes again, Alexia! 🎵❤️🎵 Debbie
If you love Blue so much, you should get into For The Roses, the album she recorded right after. You still have the basic guitar & piano songs, but it starts to feel like she's searching for something different: orchestrations, a bit of jazz here and there. Some people refer to it as Blue II. It has some of her best stuff: Woman of Heart & Mind, Lesson in Survival, Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire...
For The Roses is my favourite Joni album, tied with Hejira, and for me it's so much better than Blue (which I still love, don't get me wrong). The quality of her songwriting and composition is way higher.
@@DanInMUC I too have always preferred FTR over Blue, and Hejira is at the top for me as well. That beign said, i don't think there's a single artist in the 70's that had a run quite like hers: from Ladies of the Canyon to Mingus, that's quite the arc, with five masterpieces in a row. (I like her stuff from the 80's and 90's as well.)
@benoitdesmarais2948 oh yeah absolutely unmatched. The only one that comes close is maybe Laura Nyro with the triad Eli, New York Tendaberry and Christmas.
I met Joni when I was leaving the Hollywood Tower Record store. She was coming in and asked me, "Did you see him?" I said what? She said "the guy who stole my car!" I said "what make and what color?" The answer...a blue Mercedes 300 convertible. I rushed past her thinking I would catch the guy in the heavy night time traffic on Sunset Blvd. Up and down the street but no luck. I did not try to go back and make small talk because she would be in no mood for that. I saw her one other time in a nice restaurant with her husband. I respect privacy so I did not approach. Love her to death and always thought I would meet her. I wanted to be the hero that night but reality got in the way. Hejira the album and that track from that album is her masterpiece IMO.
Perfect reaction! ❤ People tend to assume Joni is a ‘60s hippie-era girl, but in reality she was born in the early ‘40s and is a ‘50s jazz-era girl. That’s why jazz permeates who vocal and music structure. You can even see some early live performance videos where she loses patience with the looser hippie-dippie audience. Joni is a unique treasure. ❤
I don't know why you don't react to her live renditions. This one and Yellow Taxi are sooooo good. Not to mention Woodstock as well. She nails them live every time.
I'm not sure if you've reacted to certain recordings yet but I would like to recommend "The Last Time I Saw Richard" for your channel. It's such a special one.
This album came out my senior year in high school (in Orange County, California) so I could relate to this song in some ways. This whole album is great. One of my favorites is Little Green which has a very personal meaning to Joni. Most of her songs are personal but that one, I think, touches an even deeper place. Listen to the lyrics very carefully and look into her history and you will understand. BTW, you two are among the most observant music reactors on YT. Keep up the good work!
If you guys did the live version, Nick would have been crying again. You two should do the live version of "Chelsea Morning" on Dick Cavett the day after Woodstock. It was the first time I actually saw her and fell in love immediately! It was 1969, and I was 16.
I love the story behind this song. And actually the song Carey is about the red rouge she references in this song. There's a photo of her and Carey together out there somewhere. Also, I didn't find out she was back on Spotify until 2 days ago and I literally jumped into the air
I consider her "Ladies of the Canyon" album as an equal to "Blue". You guys should check it out. All really, really good songs, some you've probably heard, like Woodstock, Big Yellow Taxi, and the Circle Game. "Court and Spark" and "For the Roses" albums are similarly great. I consider it a special treat to listen to so much talent packed into a little blonde Canadian woman!
There is something about the steel guitar when it's used sparingly and atmospherically - like this track. Neil, Gordon, even City and Colour. Yes, maybe a bit of a Canadian thing? not sure.
Friendship with Young, relatively brief affair with Crosby, longer more stable relationship with Nash. You should do Blue, but you should also do Court and Spark and Hejira and The Hissing of Summer Lawns and For the Roses!
You have to explore her other albums. Blue is probably her best album but all her others are just as good. Start at the beginning of her catalogue and go album by album. Blue is followed by For The Roses and Court and Spark. But her later work is great too. Hijra, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter are great also. I lived in LA for 30 years and California should be the official state song.
There are a few things about this song that might not register with younger people that did not live through the '60s-70s that would have been very controversial at the time.......first she references the John Lennon song, Give Peace a Chance, which, of course, was very controversial in 1969 and in the video for that song, sitting in front is Timothy Leary..Sorry! back to Joni and the Dream of Peace as being lost.......then she says she misses California so much she'd "even kiss a Sunset Pig!" as ALL California hippies know of the brutality of the LAPD...... then she says that she's "Strung out on another man"......a clear reference to withdraw symptoms associated with heroin addiction......and to acknowledge you are craving a man.........I can just see my outraged Grandmother at the thought of it!! There's a lot in here to declare her part in the Movement so to speak. I can not Wait for you to get to the songs on her next album, For the Roses!!
Have you seen the video of Joni playing a yet unfinished version of "Coyote" at Gordon Lightfoot's house, with Bob Dylan and Roger McGuinn strumming along?
@debrabrabenec3731 Absolutely! I have Rolling Thunder Review on DVD, and love that scene when she introduces the song in that room with all those people. She also does a terrific performance of it during the Band's (the group) Last Waltz show that is a must watch.
To be able to write, sing and play like Joni all in one package is a one in a billion chance. How lucky we are that we have her.
Absolute truth
Joni was the girl with flowers in her hair in Led Zeppelins' song Going To California, and the Queen without a King.
joni is just pure class
Going to California name checks Joni. Look into that. Love you two💙
Loved her music and persona for over 50 years. She’s the object of Robert Plants performance of Going to California. She’s the pride of both Saskatoon and Laurel Canyon. A great Canadian songwriter along with her contemporaries Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, etc.l….

It's the bridge that gets me in her vibrato..."Oh it gets so lonnnnnleeeey" ❤😢...So good.
Thank you Lex for showing us how much music means to us all. 💜💚💙❤
Joni is the closest thing to heaven.
Love all things Joni! Everytime I hear her I am taken to a different time and place.🍂🍃 Great reaction guys❤❤
Blue is a truly, truly, wonderful album. Every song is a gem and her voice is beyond wonderful. I've heard it lots of times since the early 70s (I'm on my 3rd copy), but it still bring tears to my eyes. (PS. As an Anglo Brit, at 73 I still get really brown every time I go to Spain. Har Har)
court and spark is another great Joni album.
My favorite.
It is magnificent. They have done the full album reaction on Patreon. It was great 👍
I love the instrumentation in Car on the Hill. It kind of hints at her future Jazz explorations.
My favourite..
You guys are so sweet, ThX & Cheers 😎👍
aprovechado: taken advantage of, well planned, well-spent, made the best of
‘Makes the best of’ is the one that would’ve worked here!! Thank you!! ☺️
You guys, seriously, Hejira is her masterwork and it’s just so amazing. Coyote, Amelia, A Strange Boy, just front to back classics, plus your faves Jaco Pastorius, Larry Carlton, and John Guerin.

Court and Spark is my favorite album. But on the Blue, I love River.
She is a legend and a treasure, a Canadian treasure. An artists artist. An epic album. Great steel guitar by Sneaky Pete Kleinow on that cut.
She does this live on the Johnny Cash show, playing her Appalachian Dulcimer. She is so happy!! ❤ 🔥
Pure loveliness. I seem to recall this being JP's favorite. Sad to hear that his father recently passed.

This the song that inspired Led Zeppelin's "Going To California". Makes all the sense after you know it.
😱 Need to listen to that one for sure!!!!
Anyone who reacts to Joni the way you guys do is 1Avin my book. You guys are the best
Oh Canada ! :)
Not a slide, but "Sneaky Pete" Kleinow on pedal steel guitar ... with James Taylor on guitar, Joni on dulcimer. Just spectacular.
Joni does the cover art on her album covers. A true artist
You must do the one with only her and the string instrument live! Seeing her is half the experience!
I can’t be more excited when you two are doing Joni! And damn, if you aren’t still falling in love with each other! 😊
I know! Ain't they the sweetest??
Joni's "Blue" album has always been one of my top 3 albums for years.
Joni Mitchell is just an unreal talent
Stephen Caruso at work - this is why I asked for Blue as my November album selection - this is my favorite song and between this song and Led Zeppelin doing Going to California it was the reason why I wanted to live here and I love this state so much warts and all - I have been here 43 years permanently 47 on and off .. now that i know that Blue is already heard by Alexia then you can ignore it

Yes, Stephen, keep it there! Maybe I’ll pull mine!
@@NicknLex Ok i will stick with it - it may even win but either way I won't change
One of my all time favorite songs. Just so catchy and clever.

BTW, believe it or not, the song was covered by a band with the initials SD. You may have heard of them. Would be a nice play to hear both and contrast. Great reaction folks...
There is a live video of her doing this. She plays the dulcimer.
During the making of Blue, she was in a relationship with James Taylor. He's playing guitar on this song. What a great album Blue is.
Joni. Joni. Joni. Thank you for this reaction.
I bought this album for my daughter when she was 14 bc she’s such a Swiftee and I wanted her to experience an iconic singer/songwriter from another time. She didn’t get Joni, but maybe one day.
Oh yes Blue and "Court and Spark" are tops for my Joni Mitchell music! She is just so awesome!
Coyote on The Last Waltz is worth a look, too. Blue is one great album!
Every time you play Joni I have to grab my bass (sitting by my desk) and play, then another, then another....
Joni dated David Crosby and literally broke up with him by a song she wrote and performed in front of him. She then dated Graham Nash who wrote the song "our house" for her.
I think it was That Song About the Midway, which is also one of her best songs.
First. Sorry I posted that but I never thought I would be around to be the first commenter 😁. Well, JM is my fave songwriter of all-time.
Wear it proudly, brother!!

The lyrics of Going to California references Joni: "... someone told me there's a girl up there, with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair."
and echos of the war, Vietnam ... big impact during this time
Obviously my favourite song on Blue is 'The Last Time I Saw Richard'. Funny, I don't think we've ever met, Joni.
🤣!!! So funny!!
😂
Beautiful song, like every one on Blue, and like every song afterwards. Lex, did Nick play Paprika Plains for you?
Whew. Thanks.
Personally, my favourite album of Joni’s is For The Roses, closely followed by Blue - however, you can take any album and it is a masterpiece. Thanks
Reminds me of youthful travels and getting homesick.

React to River for Christmas. .
Actually I think your first Joni reaction was The Magdalene Laundries. Too much Joni is barely enough. Great reaction as always.
Please do "Coyote", written while she was touring with Dylan on his "Rolling Thunder" review.
They have reacted to the Hejira version a while back, if you search for it.
Have you seen the video of Joni playing a yet unfinished version of "Coyote" at Gordon Lightfoot's house, with Bob Dylan and Roger McGuinn strumming along?

Blue - my hidey-hole when it all gets too much
too bad you guys did not react to her California live in England - 1970 or 1971 I believe - on You tube ua-cam.com/video/x5BnE5_lPqE/v-deo.html
Good lord don’t sing along, it’s not your song. And stop looking at him. Love it privately.
