This week, Mark and friends celebrate Joni Mitchell's landmark album, Blue, which came out in 1971.

22nd June marks 50 years since the release of possibly the most influential of all singer-songwriter folk albums. Intimate, disarming and sophisticated, Joni Mitchell's Blue is cherished and revered by fans and musicians of all kinds.

On this show, Karine Polwart, AnaΓ―s Mitchell, Declan O'Rourke and Olivia Chaney send notes of thanks to Joni for an album that had a big influence on their lives and work.
