Our Take

Album: JOAN BAEZ Voice Of The People

Rating: 8.5/10

Ah, the magnetic voice of Joan Baez, known to many as the epitome of folk music purity. With this compilation album, "Voice Of The People", Baez proves once again why she deserves the title of a true folk legend.

The album kicks off with the classic "House Of The Rising Sun", a haunting rendition that showcases Baez's powerful vocal range and emotional depth. Each note she hits seems to echo through the walls of time, transporting listeners to a simpler, more introspective era.

But it's not just the oldies that shine on this album. Tracks like "Banks Of Ohio" and "Mary Hamilton" showcase Baez's ability to breathe new life into traditional folk tunes, creating a bridge between the past and the present.

The standout track on the album has to be the hauntingly beautiful "Silkie", where Baez's ethereal vocals transport you to a mystical world of ancient folklore and magic. It's a mesmerizing experience that will leave you spellbound for days.

In conclusion, "Voice Of The People" is a testament to Joan Baez's enduring talent and influence in the world of folk music. With each track, she proves why she is truly the voice of the people. Don't miss out on this enchanting musical journey.
