5.0 out of 5 stars She's the best, June 22, 2000

This review is from: Joan Baez 2 (Audio CD)

In my opionin Joan Baez was always at her best singing traditional folk songs either from England or the Appalachians. I have owned this as a vinyl LP since the early 1960's and am glad to see it is now available on CD because my record player died. Long live early Joan!

This review is from: Joan Baez 2 (Audio CD)

Ms. Baez has a pure, crystalline voice that is an instrument unto itself. You will know what I mean when you hear her sing "Waggoner's Lad" without accompaniment. This is quickly followed up by some achingly beautiful folk songs, such as "The Trees They Do Grow High", "The Lily of the West", and "Silkie". Wham Bam... before you know it, you are hooked!

This extraordinary CD ends on a very high note with "Plaisir D'Amour" which is a beautiful love song and, sung by Ms. Baez, one which will not be easily forgotten. This is an exquisitely wonderful CD, and if you are not already a fan of Ms. Baez, it will quickly make you into one. She is, undoubtedly, a national treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely voice unfettered, July 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Joan Baez 2 (Audio CD)

Here is a young woman's voice so strong and lovely that it can take the simplicity and lasting melody of folk songs and give the songs the honor they deserve. You can clearly hear the words and stories of these age old-songs. Her voice has the range and purity to make you ache with its beauty.
