Free Music Notes for Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan
Free Music Review: Perfect (as only Baez can be) but...
Hit: 5 Stars
But- I recommend this album to only casual fans. It is an unnecessary purchase for 'diehard' fans because the tracks can be found on other albums- specifically the majority are on Any Day Now. One qualm I have w/ this album is that it does not include Joan's singing of 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands',one of my favorite songs of all time- which IS on Any Day Now. My favorites on this album are: 2. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (haunting- from dylan's BIABH) 3. You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (adorable country ditty- classic basement tape track) 4. It Ain't Me Babe (absolutely lovely, sweet and sad, from dylan's 'Another Side...') 6. Tears Of Rage (another basement tape selection- only Baez sings acapella, very striking, deep and powerful, emotional) 7. Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word (beautific, and ironic- w/ the history behind it (and there is no known recording of Dylan singing this, his tune, circulating today) 8. I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine (a gem from dylan's JWH, very meaningful, and inspirational- reminiscent of 'Joe Hill') 10. Dear Landlord (rockin' version, sing it Joannie! (also from JWH) 11. One Too Many Mornings (off Dylan's The Times They are A-Changing, a treat to listen to her version... you know Baez always sings w/ passion, and her voice is always angelic ) 13. Boots Of Spanish Leather (another classic from dylan's The Times They are A-Changin... she brings new life to this one as well) 14. Daddy, You Been On My Mind (never released on a Dylan album prior to Bootleg Series vol.1-3, this one was on Baez's earlier album Farewell Angelina, and also Bob and Joan had duetted w/ this one (on Live at Newport) but sang 'mamma...' so this is another treat- sang very reflectively and sweetly) 18. Drifter's Escape (this one is like a plea- she sings it just as Dylan had on JWH, what a song! so symbolic, Dylan and Baez leave you thinkin and wonderin)Baez has her own interpretations of these songs, she breathes life into them, secondary to Dylan himself, but more of his female equal. They are opposites, but also twins--- FOR DYLAN FANS: I also recommend From Every Stage- for Love is just a 4 letter word, and I Shall be Released, Blowin in the Wind, Forever Young, and Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts. Also- Baez does a very cool version of 'Simple Twist of Fate' which can be found more than one album... but again, if you are a casual fan, you might want to pick up 'Joan C. Baez Greatest Hits' in one part she even sings with a dylan-esque voice/inflection as a parody/mock-out. very interesting. Baez is amazing, as always, on every one of her albums, as well as in person and in concert.
Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan Poster
Joan Baez isn't the best interpreter of Bob Dylan's songs (Nina Simone and the Byrds come to mind). She has, however, been one of his most unwavering partisans. Indeed, the queen of JFK-era folkies first recorded Dylan songs in 1963 when she was the more celebrated of the two and she's repeatedly returned to him as a source of material. Baez Sings Dylan collects covers cut for Vanguard in the '60s, though all but five of the 20 tracks come from her 1968 two- record, all-Dylan set, Any Day Now. Baez's rather formal phrasing works best with the more stately songs. "Tears of Rage" and "Restless Farewell," for example, are lovely and graceful. And it's a treat to hear obscure tunes such as "Farewell, Angelina" and "Walls of Redwing." On the other hand, the Bard of Hibbing's wordier exercises fall flat; she misses the sarcasm in "Don't Think Twice It's All Right" by a mile. --Steven StolderFolk Music CDs
