Who is the greatest song writer of all time?

Okay, maybe that is a tough question, so perhaps we can ask: who are the top 5 songwriters of all time?

If you are a child of the 70s, it is almost certain that your list would contain the name Joni Mitchell.

In 2000, the New York Times selected 25 albums that represented pinnacles and turning points in popular music and Joni’s album Blue (1971) was among the list.

Here is the title track, Blue, which fits perfectly with our Blue Tunes…

If you have been following this section, you will know that given we are called Bluestone, we thought it only fitting that each week we dig out a track that has the word ‘blue’ in its lyrics or title.

What better way to start the working week than with some music?

What better way to start the working week than with some sensational music?

It doesn’t come any better than this: lyrics by Bob Dylan, performance by the Indigo Girls – Tangled up in Blue. It is a truncated version, so not the full eight minutes it usually runs for…

Who doesn’t need a little music in their life now and then?

Given our name is Bluestone, we figure it is only appropriate to choose some music that features the word ‘blue’ in its title or lyrics.

Once you start looking, it is incredible how many songs have something to do with blue.

Here is our first choice – relax and have a listen…
