Artist: Joni Mitchell
Album: Blue
Year: 1971
One album I've missed dearly since this experiment is Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me, an album that got plenty of comparison's to Mitchell's work and for good reason. I, myself, wasn't as aware of the style similarities until my dad picked out Blue for me this week, an album I'd always planned to listen to but never got around to. Mitchell really starts off the confessional singer-songwriter format here, and very carefully puts together a collection of songs that function together as well as apart. Highlights are opener "All I Want", "Little Green" and the gorgeous "River".
