Appreciate the responses. I guess by the lack of responses I got my answer. She's obviously underrated here.

It's interesting. After browsing some of her stuff I would honestly put her up there with the Neil Young's and Bob Dylan's - it transcends gender. I think she's in an elite class. Admittedly I haven't heard any of her later stuff. And she probably isn't everbody's cup of tea. She apparently had like 50 different tunings for her songs on guitar... played open tunings before it was cool. A Top 100 artist of all time and the highest rated female guitar player according to Rolling Stone. Also Led Zeppelin's Going to California was reportedly about her as Plant and Page were both infatuated with her.

Thought I would get more responses. I needed affirmation dammit. My masculinity has taken a hit blasting Blue in my Ford F-150 driving home from work.

Here's the vid I was referencing in the OP: LINK

You are probably right with that assumption. Older singer-songwriters don't get as much love around here. Even Dylan gets bashed sometimes. I'm not real familiar with a lot of her work, but what I've heard I definitely like.

I am somewhat embarrassed to post that I thought thought Both Sides Now was just a Judy Collins song.

I like Joni a lot, but she has the distinction of performing what I consider the worst song from any act I like. Woodstock. Wow is that ever annoying.
