Our Take

Ah, Joan Baez - the original queen of folk music. This boxset of her early years from 1959-61 is a treasure trove of acoustic goodness that will transport you back to the Greenwich Village scene faster than you can say "Bob Dylan".

The first thing that hits you when you listen to these albums is Baez's angelic voice. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter's day - soothing, comforting, and just a little bit magical.

The song choices on this collection are a mix of traditional folk tunes and original compositions, showcasing Baez's range and versatility as an artist. From the hauntingly beautiful "Silver Dagger" to the rousing anthem "John Riley", each track is a testament to her talent and passion for storytelling through song.

But what really sets this boxset apart is the raw emotion and authenticity that Baez brings to each performance. Whether she's singing about love, politics, or social justice, you can feel her dedication and commitment to every word she sings. It's this sincerity that has endeared her to fans for over six decades and solidified her status as a musical legend.

So, if you're looking to experience the magic of Joan Baez's early years in all its glory, look no further than this collection. It's a must-have for any folk music enthusiast or anyone who appreciates the power of a truly remarkable voice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
