Released in 1972, For the Roses is a landmark album that bridges the intimate songwriting of Blue and the jazz-influenced sophistication of Court and Spark. Featuring the hit single "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" along with standout tracks such as "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire" and "Judgement of the Moon and Stars," the album showcases Mitchell's lyrical depth and artistic growth at a pivotal moment in her career. Recognized for its enduring cultural significance, For the Roses was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2007.
