A track off
Mitchell’s 1971 album
Blue, generally considered by critics to be one of the greatest albums of all time. The album peaked at Number 3 in the UK, and Number 15 in the US.
Carey was the first single released from the album, and peaked at Number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Mitchell plays Appalachian dulcimer, Stephen stills is on guitar and bass guitar.
Joni Mitchell – California (1971)
California was the second single released from
Blue. James Taylor plays guitar, and “Sneaky Pete” Kleinow is on pedal steel guitar. Mitchell plays guitar and dulcimer.
Joni Mitchell – Urge For Going (1965)
Urge For Going, and another song,
Hunter, were older songs that had yet to make themselves onto any of her previous albums, but were tagged for release on
Blue. At the last minute, Mitchell decided to remove them so that she could add two new songs,
All I Want and
The Last time I Saw Richard. As
Mitchell was also the album’s producer, she was able to make the 11th hour substitutions.
This is a live version of that song recorded in 1965.
Urge For Going was also her first song to achieve commercial success when recorded by country singer
George Hamilton IV.
