Free Music Notes for Any Day Now
Free Music Review: Joan Baez loves Bob Dylan! A beautiful, very special set!
Hit: 5 Stars
This disc of a 2 LP set is a very welcome and deserving reissue!!! With contemporary folk music again strong and healthy (after taking much of the `80s off), this album can stand alongside the best current albums as an engagingly different collection which can appeal to a new generation of folkers. The sound quality is crisp, clear and excellent.
The material -- many of the Dylan classics -- is unsurpassable. Her voice is at its zenith, young, supple -- neither undisciplined (as in her 1st records) nor the later, low vibrato warble. There is none of the self-conscious and silly Dylan vocal imitation found in Baez's later recording. Where Dylan's own singing is wonderfully raw and rough, Baez is clear and pure. Both are great for me, but very, very different from each other. These lovely renditions are like no one else's. Just pure Joan in her finest voice.
She is backed here by several of the very best of '70s Nashville session musicians (pickers). Some folks think of Nashville sidemen as inevitably bound up with Country Music. While this is not counter-country, it fits much more into folk -- as the names Dylan and Baez rightly connote. (Other great examples of great Nashville sidemen supporting a distinctive singer-songwriter (not really Country fare) are Jerry Jeff Walker's very first 2 releases, "Drifting Way of Life" and the original "Mr. Bojangles" album -- both in the late '60s. Jerry Jeff comes across so differently than in his later years.)
"One Too Many Mornings" is too often overlooked among Dylan's compositions, and this is among the best renditions I've heard. The full-length, unhurried treatment "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowland" is spell-binding and satisfying. Perhaps my favorite, though, is the subtle and poignant "Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather." Dylan's lyrical genius is fully manifest, in his gorgeous melody and Joan Baez's a wonderful performance.
For many of us who listened both then and recently, this pristine work inevitably reminds us how much has aged in the decades since this earlier era -- also recaptured so vividly in Dylan's own Chronicles.. These are timely works, both for reminiscence and to introduce newbies to the non-acid experiences that stirred an earlier generation.
But regardless of any social import, this is simply beautiful poetry and music.
Any Day Now Poster
Joan Baez beat Bob Dylan to folk stardom, but she soon became one his biggest supporters, key interpreters, and briefly his lover. Any Day Now finds her playing all three roles; supporting, interpreting, and loving a disc full of his songs. Many of the more curious numbers ("The Walls of Redwing," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere") were unavailable from Dylan at the time of the double-album's original 1968 release. Baez gets deeply into this stuff, adding her own weight and color to Dylan's idiosyncratic lines; even tackling the epic-length weirdness of "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." The best track, "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word," remains the definitive version of the song. --Michael RubyFolk Music CDs
