For me, that's essential listening (well, for a few of us here I'd say). It sort of ties things up in my mind. It ties together various musical threads from the preceding albums and works in the new band. I'm still a bit in awe that she did not load it with C&S songs. In a sense, I see it as a companion to C&S actually, so this works well. I also think her voice may be at it's most appealing for me on MoA over all other albums. I see where you are going with C&S and HOSL being connected, In France is a definite bridge. However, in my mind, HOSL is more of a transitional album (and what a transition!) that allows for the sonic shift that is Hejira. The door then opens for DJRD which I always pair with Mingus and S&L more than Hejira funnily. Like you, Sue, I love the progression across these albums. No other artists progression fascinates me as much (hopefully that will redeem me for my Joni criticism a few weeks back;-) I think I will have to listen to C&S and HOSL together now, thanks:) GARRET NP - Eddi Reader, Back the Dogs (from her latest album - I think so many of you guys would love this) On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 1:48 PM, wrote: > Hi Laura - glad you heard "Help Me", I agree it's always like a cool > summer breeze unto my ears when I hear that guitar intro.

Jungle Line to Harry's House all play up this theme to the tune of smooth jazz ... but then comes Sweet Bird and Shadows and Light where I really see the first clouds of Hejira forming b&" B It is a very Joni-like description, poetical and right on.B Bob wrote: "Wow, how's that for a subject line that only a Joni fan could decipher?B Anyway, I'm hoping to hear a Joni song on the radio today to keep my streak alive."B Hi Bob. B TFTGL!! (Thanks for the good laugh!) Late last night as I was walking out of the empty mall after closing my restaurant for the night I heard "Help Me" on the mall speakers very loudly with no noise in the mall. I thought to myself as I relaxed in the beautiful sound how full and smooth Joni's voice is in that song and how different she sounds from anybody else. I also felt comforted like being embraced by a loved one in the thought of how wonderful it is to have so many friends on this list who appreciate Joni in the same way I do. You wrote: "Now I would be tempted to pair C&S with HOSL and Hejira with DJRD. Wondering what y'all think." I agree with C&S paired with HOSL although I think of rock/jazz with C&S and jazz/rock with HOSL. B I have a little more difficult time pairing Hejira and DJRD because DJRD even though in part it is meditative, mostly it strikes me as reckless whereas Hejira strikes me as meditative and not very reckless at all. Both albums have a stop and start to them in the mix of songs that is cool. B I like the mix on both albums. B They are both really incredible.
