If you're a fan of Joni Mitchell, this song just might speak to you. Her music has touched me in so many ways, and it was good to write a song that honored her.

“Favorite Album is Blue” was written as a song assignment at Lamb's Retreat for Songwriters in November 2022. The assignment was to write a song about two kids spinning records. When I envisioned them, I saw Joni Mitchell's Blue album in the girl's hand and many classic albums scattered on the floor. Classic 70's song and album titles are intertwined in the lyrics as I tell the story of these two kids spinning records and her favorite album is “Blue”.

In the summer of 2015, I went back to rescue the songs of Journal Entry, a recording that I released in 1998.

At first, I was only going to remix and re-master the original tracks, however, the project took an unexpected life of its own. The original band tracks were replaced with acoustic versions (#5, #6). New supporting performances were added to the recordings. Three new songs (#1, #4, #10) were added. A new title, derived from the lyric of the song Rosemary. New artwork. New package. New song order. The entire collection of songs was remixed and re-mastered.
