Joan Baez - Greatest Hits

by: Joan Baez

Release Date May 07, 1996
'Greatest Hits' is a good (not perfect) overview of Joan's A&M years - which, other reviewers fail to understand, do not encompass her popular 1971 Blessed Are... album (the one that includes the original version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.") By the way, I recommend Ace Records' Best of the Vanguard Years to survey Joan's early years. All of her original Vanguard LP's have been reissued, too.

But, my point here to is correct two aspects of the liner notes and track selection. First, the version of "Forever Young" included here is not the original 1974 single version (though that's what the liner notes claim). Rather, it's the live version on From Every Stage (1976). Too bad - the single is better. Note that you can ... Read More:

Diamonds & Rust

by: Joan Baez

Release Date October 25, 1990
As a lifelong Judas Priest fan, l borrowed this album from someone who owned it to hear the original version of the title track. Judas Priest did a memorable version of this on their ''Unleashed ln The East (Live ln Japan)'', as well as an unplugged version on their reunion tour a couple of years ago. WH0A!!! This low key, folksy version kicks Judas Priest's hard and heavy, full octane version's butt. You can picture the gray overcast afternoon in Washington Square in Joan's version.

The rest of the album needs some getting used to, but l can listen to ''Diamonds And Rust'' over and over again on repeat for hours.

The First 10 Years

by: Joan Baez

Release Date October 25, 1990

The cd was good, but Joan Baez does better music than this cd shows. But all in all, still a good cd.

Joan Baez

by: Joan Baez

Release Date August 14, 2001
I had a copy of this when I was a young man back in the '60s.It was on vinyl of course and didn't survive the many playings I gave it. I believe it was done in a very unpretentious way highlighting an extremely talented young folk singer. She of course went on to become a singing superstar but this is the definitive Joan Baez for me.

Farewell, Angelina

by: Joan Baez

Release Date July 09, 2002
This Cd is very good, I recommend it to anyone who likes to hear the beautiful voice of Joan Baez. I studied German in college, so it was fun to hear "Sagt mir wo die Blumen Sind" (Where Have all the Flowers Gone?). I am fond of folk music and enjoy hearing songs sung in languages other than English.

Blessed Are...

by: Joan Baez

Release Date September 13, 2005
The crisp rendition on this remastered cd does full justice to Joan Baez's heavenly voice. This is one of her best sets as it has several hits and lesser known gems and very few low spots, which mar some of her albums. A must have if you love her voice and her poetry.

Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan

by: Joan Baez

Release Date June 23, 1998
Joan Baez has the wrong vocal quality for most of these songs, and the arrangements make little sense. I don't believe one can sing "St. Augustine" worse than Ms. Baez does here, four-square and lifeless, and, gee, if that song screams "Nashville" to an arranger, that person needs another line of work.
