Hmmm. "Recycle" is usually a pejorative term when aimed at a Songwriter, so I'll say, "no". She wrote lots and lots of songs, entire albums worth by herself and almost never repeated herself. She recycled very little and gave us tons of great work. There was even a lot of variety in arrangements and instrumentation in the first 12-15 albums.

The GW link also gives a good daylight view of the venue.

Hey Laura and all, Gotta agree with Laura -- DJRD is my fave, too. She put all she'd learned plus the new sound of Hejira into one, big, fun kick-ass album. I remember seeing her during the HSL tour -- she did four new songs: Coyote, Furry, DJRD and Talk to Me, the first two showing up on Hej, of course, and the latter 2 on DJRD. Never been so astonished as my first hearings of Jungle Line and of Paprika Plains. They both still give me chills, as does FTR the song, and Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire. I understand why Blue, C&S and Hejira are frequently cited as her landmark albums, but somehow for me, it's the succeeding ones that flotilla my gorilla.

Really not a Dylan fan) Oddly, I've always compared "The Priest" to "Talk to Me", in that she's describing a man/men who are trying to hide behind their silences/their mystery. Back in '02, I was working on a medley that started with "I Don't know where I stand", used part of "Harry's House" as a bridge, and ended with the paralysis of "Sunny Sunday". In my weird head they all address both indecision and frustration. Also, she wrote a song that I've seen the lyrics of, but I don't think anyone has a recording of, that bashes Chuck Mitchell very much along the lines of "I Had a King" -- can't pull out the name right now. Isn't one of her songs somewhat of a response to Coen's "Suzanne" -- Wizard of Id, maybe? Of course there are her four depressive/"morbid" Christmas songs that I was working on a medley of in '03 until my hands gave out -- I'd worked out a piano arranmgement for "Gift of the Magi" by listening to it a zillion times, and was going to link the parts together with a bridge stolen from someone's version of River (Bob Mueller, you will know the one) that repeats "Wish I Might, Wish I May..."

I love KT + add the Cuban twist and it's right up my musical alley - wonderful! Thanks for sharing - I see the proceeds from the album go to aid disaster relief in Haiti, Chile and Tibet, too.
