Joni Mitchell, CC (born Roberta Joan Anderson on November 7, 1943) is a Canadian musician and painter.

Blue is the 1971 album of Joni Mitchell. Among Joni's early output, this sad, poetic collection of intimate confessional songs is possibly the best. From exploring the various facets of relationships to infatuation on "A Case of You" to insecurity on "This Flight Tonight," the songs feature simple accompaniments on piano, guitar, and Appalachian dulcimer. Blue was a critical and commercial success, and it peaked in the top 20 in the Billboard Album charts in September of 1971.
