Free Music Review: A Dear Friend Told Me ...
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was the childhood favorite of a very dear friend of mine. He gave me the cd for Christmas, 2002 and I have very nearly worn the tracks off of it (an old vinyl saying!). I grew up listening to Dylan sing "Sad Eyed Lady", he grew up listening to Joan's version. We are both die-hard Dylan and Baez lovers to this day. Ms. Baez' renderings made me wonder so I have been scouring the internet for copies of "the way Dylan did these songs". My friend has moved on, now, but I shall always be greatful for his gift. This is a great disc! Ok, I admit that I don't like "Tears of Rage" very much. But that's just me and, on a cd, it doesn't matter. I just hit the button and move right into "Sad Eyed Lady" (which I always play twice, by the way. I REALLY love that song!!). If you enjoy Dylan's verse but would rather hear it sung by someone else, I strongly recommend you listen to this one. I think you'll like it.Free Music Review: Masterpiece enhanced
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an album of appealing Dylan interpretations and it's enlightening to hear his work from a female perspective. I heard some of Dylan's songs here first and only later experienced his own versions, for example I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine which is definitely very different (and more beautiful to me) in Baez's version.
Other great tracks include I Pity The Poor Immigrant (still as relevant as ever), Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word, the heart-breaking Walls Of Redwing (about inmates in a jail), One Too Many Mornings, Boots Of Spanish Leather and Restless Farewell.
Everything about this album is just SO RIGHT: her phrasing, the choice of songs and her elegant delivery. This is a classic folk album of the 1960s and also essential listening for Dylan fans. I love it. This re-issue contains two live bonus tracks that were recorded in Japan.
Free Music Review: Baez interprets Dylan
Hit: 5 Stars
Joan Baez has always had the knack of choosing the best songs for her style and voice. In "Any Day Now" there is no exception. Baez sings Dylan better than Dylan himself. While listening to this cd, you can simply here her respect toward great song writing. Baez shines while singing "Tears of Rage". Her crystalline voice moves one from within. Yet another bright song is "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" where Baez tells a story unlike any other singer. A definite must in a Joan Baez collection. Thank you Joan for singing Bob Dylan songs.Free Music Review: Joan Baez Remastered
Hit: 5 Stars
i've always loved Joan Baez's cover versions of Dylan songs (except for one: the Hard Rain's gonna fall version on her Europe '83 album where she tries to immitate Mr. Dylan). it's nice to see a few bonus tracks on this re-release on CD.

Free Music Review: Any Day Now, Joan Baez
Hit: 5 Stars
For being a 1968 release it took me long enough to find it, but I think it is an excellent cd and for any Joan Baez and Bob Dylan fans it will be a perfect fit.
