Clouds is the 1969 second album by Joni Mitchell. It is sparsely arranged, with little more than Joni's voice and solo acoustic guitar for accompaniment. Particularly well known are the songs "Both Sides Now", which Joni had written for others but sung herself for the first time on this record, and "Chelsea Morning", after which Bill Clinton named his daughter Chelsea (after hearing the Judy Collins version).[1]

It won the Grammy for best folk album of 1969 (in 1970).
