Biography

How do you build a narrative for a story as rich and multifaceted as the life of Joan Baez? Baez herself is not especially inclined to introspection, or to the backwards glance. Often wrongly perceived as a naïve idealist, she is, in her own distinctive way, a pragmatist to the core with her eyes fixed squarely on what’s right in front of her. As an activist, she has viewed her life ... Read more in Amazon's Joan Baez Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A folk masterpiece 4 Mar 2005
By Pieter Uys HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This is a great album. The songs are superb and sensitively interpreted, including the French (Pauvre Ruteboeuf) and German (Sagt Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind) ones. The music is archetypal 1960s folk, whilst Satisfied Mind has a bit of a country feel with its lovely mandolin. There are songs by Dylan, Donovan, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, plus traditionals such as The Wild Mountain Thyme and The River In The Pines.

It is interesting that this kind of music flourished alongside the fast permutations of rock in that innovative decade. This album has always been a sheer pleasure to listen to, and now even more so with the addition of three tracks, of which I like One Too Many Mornings the most.

My other favourites include the magnificent Farewell Angelina, Colours, Satisfied Mind, the German version of Where Have All The Flowers Gone? and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. In fact this album is more varied and enjoyable than some of her later "art-song" excursions of the 1980s and early 1990s. If you're looking for great songs well-interpreted, you cannot go wrong with this album. It's a folk classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remastered masterpiece! 17 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
A very welcome reissue of the brilliant 1965 album with three 'bonus tracks' - one of which is a real stunner.

There is little I can add to reviews of the original CD - it is of such high and consistent quality that it is actually difficult to pick favourite tracks - the variety of sources (Dylan/Trad./Guthrie/Donovan among others) is a particlur strength.

One of the 3 extra tracks (all recorded at the 'Farewell, Angelina' sessions) is an oustanding early version of Bruce Phillips' 'Rock, Salt and Nails' (a later version appeared on David's Album). Joan's voice is beautifully complemented by superb instrumentals - Langhorne on electric guitar and Rinzler on mandolin.

If you are thinking of replacing some of your old vinyls, or just fancy a fairly early Baez CD, then you can't go wrong with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got to rank as her best ever Album 22 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
I have had this album since its original release and never got tired of its variations of themes and melodies. Some are classics by other song writers.

Listen to 'Hard Rain's are Gonna Fall'. Then listen to Dylan's original. She took an original and made it better. Not many people can do that.

The new cd is better yet. I can program the cd player to play depending mood.

Its got to rank as her best ever album but another favourite is the album 'Joan' if you are in such a protest mood; listen to Saigon Bride!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely to hear this again.
I was a child when my dad brought this wonderful album home from America. Joan Baez sings Bob Dylan with what sounds like amplified acoustic guitars.

Wonderful cd, very well remastered. I was worried that it would not reflect the original very well, but I'm glad to say - it's great!

Farewell Angelina is one of Joan Baez wonderful albums of the 1960s. Don't bother listening if you're gung-ho for our brave boys in Afghanistan. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the 60s
The tracks on this CD seem like old friends and the sound of Joan Baez conjures up so many memories of events at the time that that I first heard them as a student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!
I've only had this CD for about two weeks and all I can say is that it's simply amazing. It is the first Joan Baez album I've bought and it certainly won't be the last! Read more
