About this album
For the Roses is a pivotal Joni Mitchell album, sharpening her confessional songwriting into something more complex, elegant and unsparing. Released in 1972, it follows the breakthrough success of Blue and finds Mitchell widening her palette with more intricate arrangements and a cooler, less intimate emotional tone. Songs such as You Turn Me On I’m a Radio and Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire show her ability to pair melodic grace with cutting observation, while the title track and Woman of Heart and Mind underline her growing lyrical ambition. Widely regarded as one of her key early-70s records, it helped define the singer-songwriter era on her own uncompromising terms.
