Our Take

Joan Baez, the folk legend herself, has gifted us with a Christmas album that is sure to put you in the holiday spirit faster than you can say "chestnuts roasting on an open fire." "Noel" is a festive and heartwarming collection of classic Christmas tunes, all given the Baez treatment with her signature angelic vocals and masterful guitar playing.

From the opening track, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," Baez sets the tone for a serene and contemplative holiday season. Her renditions of traditional carols like "Silent Night" and "The First Noel" are beautifully executed, with just the right amount of reverence and emotion. But it's not all solemnity and seriousness on this album - Baez also knows how to have a bit of cheeky fun with songs like "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Frosty the Snowman."

One of the standout tracks on "Noel" is Baez's hauntingly beautiful version of "Auld Lang Syne," which is sure to bring a tear to your eye as you bid farewell to another year. Overall, Joan Baez's "Noel" is a delightful and heartwarming addition to any Christmas music collection, and a reminder of why she remains a beloved icon of the folk music world. So grab a mug of mulled wine, curl up by the fire, and let Joan Baez serenade you into the holiday season - you won't regret it.
