Blue

One song on Blue is about a daughter no one knew she had.

In February 1965, at 21, Mitchell had a daughter in Toronto, Kelly Dale, and gave her up for adoption months later. Little Green is about her. The story came out in 1993, when a college roommate sold it to a tabloid. In 1997 her daughter, by then Kilauren Gibb, found her.
