That's the main one in circulation, if memory serves. Is Joni folk? Yes. Is Joni jazz? Yes. Is Joni rock? Yes. The blending and categorization of Joni at her finest is described in this great review of Hejira I read just today: http://tinyurl.com/k7ck5kq Excerpt: "This bold, and brilliant album daringly re-contextualizes disparate elements - jazz, poetry, ambient, folk - in real time; the result is fusion not in the traditional sense, but more literally defined, perhaps closer to the way we might now apply the word to cuisine." Feel free to read ALL 19 album writeups. I did and agreed with about 90% of what the writer says.

And a lot of "is/was she folk?" The writer below was obviously on drugs when he typed "1960" - what year would it have been? Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2015 19:39:33 -0600 From: Folk Routes Subject: Re: excellent appreciation of Joni In the last several months I have been spending a lot of time with the Joni catalogue. This was inspired by three live recordings from 1967(UK/London, 1960(Newport Folk Festival), and 1970(Amchitka). Joni's early folk club days are well documented here in Calgary by several of my listeners. Calgary had a big supportive scene - Joni Andersen's played a baritone guitar and sang folk/trad songs like The House of the Rising Sun. I have been through the early recordings and find the folk essence very strong, not come the difficult time where she truly finds her voice with jazz musicians. There are several pivitol point on her 'first' official live album creating an exception performance - including dulcimer. In 1994 she played The Edmonton Folk Festival and again I saw this truly well-formed solo songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. She was amazing and not unlike a John Martyn-like sound. Sooooo is she folk .... I continue to say yes as she has taken it to places that others are expanding. As for dance I was at the premiere of her ballet here in Calgary...wow !!! Just my thoughts...

I really like that album (Harlem in Havana is amazing) but I just assume for some reason that it's not a big favorite with everyone.

When I saw the ranking that the writer gave TI I was all "Uh-oh, Sue's not going to like that"...I also loved the "gateway drug" line in talking about HOSL, and it's sorta true. I'm sorry about your colleague. That kind of thing can be a real bummer.
