Free Music Notes for Joan Baez in Concert, Pt. 1
Free Music Review: Immaculately beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
Joan Baez' third album "In Concert Part One" remains the quintessential album of the 1960s folk revival and stands on its own as a remarkably beautiful piece of music. Although recorded in the 1960s, its atmosphere is surprisingly dark and haunting throughout and satnds up very well to almost a half-century of time.
Baez' beautiful voice was at no point so intense or powerful as it was on "In Concert Part One". On some songs, such as "Gospel Ship" and "Kumbaya", she is truly tearful yet sings with a beauty so genuine it will live in your mind forever after one or two listens. Although her version of "Matty Groves" does not quite match the astonishing rendition from Liege and Lief, it still tells a brutal tale. Malvina Reynolds' "What Have They Done to the Rain", on the other hand, was Baez' first move into the realm of the protest song yet is remarkably touching and intimate with its simple yet powerful metaphor of the grass dying from poisoned rainwater.
The dark, despairing imagery is blackest on "House Carpenter's Daughter", "Geordie" and "Copper Kettle", which are further proof of the amazingly touching yet beautiful imagery of traditional folk that proved the richest of veins for such artists as Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span during the 1970s.
All Joan Baez albums up to the oft-misunderstood Baptism are worth owning, but there is little doubt "In Concert Part One" is the finest hour of her career. Anyone interested in traditional folk song should own this album.
