Our Take

Joan Baez has been enchanting audiences with her angelic voice and powerful lyrics for over a decade now, and her latest album "The First 10 Years" is a perfect encapsulation of her incredible talent.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where folk music reigns supreme and Baez is the queen. The album kicks off with her haunting rendition of "Silver Dagger" which sets the tone for the rest of the tracks - a perfect blend of vulnerability and strength.

Baez's voice is like a warm hug on a cold day, wrapping you up in its embrace and carrying you through each melody with grace and ease. Songs like "Farewell, Angelina" and "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" showcase her ability to take a classic tune and make it her own, adding her own unique flair to each note.

But it's not just Baez's voice that shines on this album - her songwriting skills are also on full display. Tracks like "There But for Fortune" and "With God on Our Side" showcase her ability to tackle social and political issues with poise and grace, making you think as much as you feel.

Overall, "The First 10 Years" is a stunning compilation of Joan Baez's early work, showcasing why she has become a folk music legend. So sit back, relax, and let her soothing voice wash over you - you won't regret it.
