Joni Mitchell’s 1971 “Blue” album is on my top 10 list of all-time favorite albums, and musician Sara Hallie Richardson will be playing every song from it on Feb. 19 in Portland.
“Blue,” Mitchell’s fourth album, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and was released when the artist was 27.
I’ve been essentially obsessed with the album for decades, and it never ceases to amaze me how it encapsulates such a deep sense of love, longing and place. From the opening “All I Want” to the closing “The Last Time I Saw Richard,” the journey Mitchell offers is profound, and as a fan of Richardson for nearly a decade, I have unfettered faith that she’ll take the audience on a similar journey, while also putting her own mark on it.
