Congrats on the purchase, Erica...both are good efforts, DJRD the stronger of the 2. It's significant to put DJRD in its perspective as far as time is concerned. In 1977, as far as "popular" music you had classic rock, you had disco, you had punk & new wave...and then there was DJRD. It took a lot of the Hejira sound and pushed it even farther to the edge. The lyrics are a bit more cryptic, and of course there's Paprika Plains which is in a class of itself. If you're reading through the lyrics as you're listening, there are a lot of written lyrics in DJRD that she doesn't sing, so be sure & seek them out. Several themes abound in it, relationships & dreams among them. Bob NP: Smash Mouth, "Let's Rock"
