Although I love the work of Joan Baez, I'm not so sure of this album. It lacks the passion of her 60s and 70s work, and seems to be an attempt to marry her "art-singer" style of the 1980s with her earlier political consciousness. As such, it doesn't work. I like her interpretation of the Johnny Clegg song Asimbonanga (Zulu for "We haven't seen him") and her version of Peter Gabriel's "Biko," whilst her own composition "Recently" is competent enough. As for the rest, the singing is good but the album lacks some spark somehow. This certainly does not count as one of her classic albums like "Come From The Shadows," "Farewell Angelina", "From Every Stage", "Diamonds & Rust", "Any Day Now" or "Gracias A La Vida" but it's still quite listenable.

Joan Baez sings about the grief we cause one another by being of different background, culture, belief. Listening to the words we should feel guilty. Man has let himself down by his cruel acts. A united, happy world is what Joan seeks in this album. A sad but excellent production.

Best version of Brothers in Arms I have ever heard. The rest of the album is good but not as good as the first track.
