She went jazz. She released these two albums completely turning her back on the folk sound that put her on the map.
I don't know if these albums necessarily hurt her career (in album sales, or general popularity). I konw they sold pretty well, but did she lose fans by really changing things around? I don't know.
I do know that she lost me. Granted, the threshold for me to keep listening to Joni Mitchell is low. Blue I like. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot.
So, when she went all jazzy with those jazz basslines, horns and keyboards, I checked out mentally.
It is worth noting that Heijra was written as she drove by herself from Maine to California.
