Our Take

Ah, Joan Baez, the queen of folk herself. Bowery Songs sees Baez at her most raw and intimate, capturing the essence of her legendary live performances.

From the moment she strums her guitar and opens her mouth to sing, you can't help but be mesmerised by her powerful vocals and emotional delivery. The way she commands the stage with just her voice and her guitar is nothing short of magical.

The album features stripped-down versions of some of Baez's classic songs, including "Diamonds and Rust" and "Farewell, Angelina", as well as a handful of new tracks. Each song is performed with such passion and sincerity that you can't help but be moved.

Baez's voice has aged like a fine wine, deepening and becoming more soulful with each passing year. Her storytelling skills are as sharp as ever, drawing you in with every lyric and every note.

Bowery Songs is a testament to Baez's enduring talent and influence in the folk music world. It's a reminder of why she is considered a living legend, and why her music continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.

In short, Bowery Songs is a must-listen for any fan of folk music, or anyone who appreciates music that comes straight from the heart. Joan Baez has done it again, and we couldn't be more thrilled.
