Blue is arranged for little more than Mitchell's guitar, piano and Appalachian dulcimer, with a few guests. Her open tunings and wide-ranging melodies carry songs of travel, love and leaving written with unusual candour. It became a model for personal songwriting, and later artists across folk and pop keep naming it.
