I would recommend"Who Knows Where the Time Goes"
first and foremost. Stephen Stills plays on a couple of my
favorite Judy songs,"Someday Soon" and "First Boy I Loved",
also there is a wonderful rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Bird On
The Wire". Also excellent albums from her (best, I think) early
period are "Whales and Nightingales", "Wildflowers" (with BSN and
Michael From Mountains") and "In My Life".

I don't know if people take him too seriously, but there are some
seriously funny songs on some of his albums, especially the amazingly
great "Another Side of Bob Dylan".

I sat my monkey up on a log
and ordered him to do the dog
he wagged his tail and shook his head
then he went and did the cat instead
wierd monkey
very funky

I got a friend who spends his life
stabbin' my picture with a bowie knife
he dreams of stranglin' me with a scarf
when my name comes up he pretends to barf
I got a million friends
