Our Take

Joan Baez is a name synonymous with folk music, protest anthems, and a voice that can soothe even the most restless soul. Her debut album, now available on red vinyl with two bonus tracks, is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the talents of a young artist on the brink of superstardom.

From the moment the needle hits the record, Baez's angelic vocals transport you to a simpler time, where love, loss, and revolution were the driving forces behind every strum of the guitar. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Silver Dagger," a traditional ballad that sets the tone for what's to come.

Tracks like "East Virginia" and "John Riley" showcase Baez's ability to breathe new life into old folk songs, while her original compositions like "Plaisir d'Amour" demonstrate her songwriting prowess. The bonus tracks, including the haunting "Lonesome Road" and the uplifting "Banks of the Ohio," are welcome additions to an already stellar collection.

Overall, Joan Baez's debut album is a must-have for any folk music enthusiast. Its timeless beauty and heartfelt lyrics will resonate with listeners of all ages, proving once again why Baez is a true icon in the music industry. So grab your red vinyl, sit back, and let Joan Baez's ethereal voice take you on a journey through folk music history. A true classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection.
