    I don't worry about which might be better and just enjoy them anyway.

    Joni is a favourite of mine.

    I thought Hejira was her eighth studio album?

    Ah, so you like it? And the one before it ("The Hissing of Summer Lawns")? So you only dislike "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" and "Mingus"?
    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    Correct, in fact 'Furry sings the blues' is one of my go to test tracks.

    Are we forgetting Court and Spark - a sort of transition from the folky style to the jazzy stuff that followed. For me Joni is the best female artist ever

    I too like 'Furry sings the blues' a lot. My favourite is epic 'Hejira'; number two is 'A strange boy' (I even learned how to play that song on the guitar -- endless fun!)

    What are you testing with 'Furry sings the blues'?

    'The Hissing of Summer Lawns', is IMO, her weakest album and one I rarely play.

    Agree with you about Joni. She's not the best female singer, but she is definitely a veritable tour de force!

    Court and Spark is amazing. I'm especially amazed to learn that it's the greatest commercial success of her career. Something so playful, so fresh, so daring, so experimental, so 'out there', so inventive and innovative, managed to top the charts? Those were some incredible time!

    Yeah thought she went a bit far with that one.
