With Blue (1971), Mitchell takes the lyrical and musical transformation that consecrates the zenith of her most introspective and autobiographical music. Blue is a king of vibrant travelogue following the end of a sentimental experience. Her voice, elegantly and vibrantly stretched, reaches its climax of the possibility of folk-singing, sinking in a continuous neurotic moan. The compositions are complex and convoluted, intentionally rugged and anti-spectacular, sonically skinny, verging on silence. The words are more lyrical and detached, and without false modesty face the problems of the new sexual ethic, like Erica Jong was doing around the same time with her fiction. The harmonies are more rhythmic and melodic when accompanied by a guitar (All I Want, Carey, California, This Flight Tonight) and represent the most serene and lively art of the Californian, with calls to CSNY and country rock. The other pieces, for ivory, rely on difficult balances between vocal inventions and strokes of a piano, and create an environment of “cultured” European art (Blue, My Old Man, River, The Last Time I Saw Richard) that is suffused in the brain. These piano pieces are real chamber sonatas, and represent the highest achievements of the harmonic music of Joni Mitchell. Though there are many digressions of theme on the album, the main conflict is one of a romantically attained wisdom, the conflict between love and freedom: love stifles freedom, and without freedom you cannot have creativity. Loneliness becomes a necessary evil for those who want to realize their own personality. In this abstract thesis, Mitchell sacrifices herself for her music, and is reduced to a mere witness of her own personal drama.
