Hejira, her "first black album"?  Interesting idea. 
Of course, Joan knew about Lambert, Hendricks, and
Ross back in Saskatchewan.  I'm not exactly sure who
has lots of skin pigment and who has a little but I'm
thinking it was a mixture of black and white folks. 
(Shocking, I know.)  :)

So, in that sense, Joni has hip before she came south
to Detroit.  So, I guess by that yardstick, C&S is her
first "black" album although it doesn't mean much. 
Was "Twisted" the one that Annie Ross built on top of
a sax solo by jazz man Wardell Grey?  (Some sites have
it spelled "Gray".)
