Free Music Review: The Pleasure of Joan Baez
Hit: 5 Stars
This record opens with Joan singing "Wagoner's Lad" acapella in that beautiful voice. She takes this standard to whole 'nother level, pulling you into the story. Then she seques into another folk standard, "The Trees They Do Grow High" which I've also seen called "He's Young But He's Daily Growing," on a Donovan bootleg. He he does as sort of a Scottish Ballad, Joan has a very different take on the song. "The Lily of the West" picks up the pace, "Silkie" slows it back down again. These songs, just the beginning of the record, captured me as surly as did Joanie's first record. There is just something magical about her interpretation of a song. I couldn't play this record enough. Had it not been for Joan Baez, I don't know that I ever would have appreciated folk music.
My favorite song on this record is "Barbara Allen". I've heard Bob Dylan do it a number of times, heard Dolly Parton, that other beautiful voice, do it as well, but Dylan's angst and Dolly's heart, don't begin to touch the purity of Joanie as she croons out this song. If this one doesn't make you cry, nothing will. I was never very into religion, but George Harrison had me singing along a lot with "My Sweet Lord years later, almost like Joanie had me raptly listening to "The Cherry Tree" in 1961 and her ability to do that alone, to get me to listen to a story about Mary and Joseph over and over, makes this one of my ten favorite records of that year. "Plasir D'Amour" tells of the pleasure and the pain of love, well, no pain for me, I've loved this record almost my whole life.
