Yes, and a teeny bit on The Tenth World.

That was a great union. If it had been previously
unnoticed before, the cross-over appeal of Joni's
music was really solidified with DJRD, especially its
acceptance by black musicians, like Charles Mingus. 

Having a woman known for disco/funk hits (I'm Every
Woman) singing on an album as complex as DJRD really
helped the mainstream see Joni's enormous appeal and
diversity - that in combination with her unrelenting
musical experimentation on that record.

Folk singer? Not any more.
