"Joan Baez has a captivating high pitched voice."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This CD has some pleasant Joan Baez songs including current social issue protest songs.However two very good songs of hers which I hoped would be on the cds namely A Hard Rains Going to Pour and Time Rag were not included.Joan Baez has a captivating high pitch,high and low volume singing style which would appeal to most events,situations and people.A welcome talented female performer representing the many unknown talented female performers.There is no real reason the music charts should be so male dominated.

Description

There was a moment in 1987, when a feisty and driven Joan Baez thought, “enough is enough.” She rolled up her sleeves and accepted an offer from artist manager and label executive Danny Goldberg to join his latest startup, Gold Castle, and start making records again. That decision led to three albums whose reappearance in 2016 should be cause for no small amount of rejoicing in Joan Baez circles, especially by those who might’ve been looking the other way (musically, most likely), or just missed them entirely the first time around. So quickly did they seem to come and go.

The 30 collective tracks contained on Recently (originally released July 1987), Diamonds and Rust in the Bullring (recorded live in Bilbao, Spain, 1988, released April 1989), and Speaking of Dreams (November 1989) hold their own as some of the greatest song selection sequences of Joan’s entire discography. And that’s saying a lot, considering the scholarship and timeliness of material to be found on her (other) 30 or so principal career albums, studio and live. All three Gold Castle titles were produced by Alan Abrahams at Capitol Records Studios in Hollywood.

Highlights from the studio albums, Recently and Speaking of Dreams include the Paul Simon collaboration, “Rambler Gambler/Whispering Bells” and a duet with Jackson Browne, “El Salvador”. The albums also contain some of Baez’s last songwriting contributions to her oeuvre, including the stunning title tracks of each. Diamonds and Rust in the Bullring, recorded live in Spain, contains a definitive version of Joan’s signature “Diamonds and Rust” as well as six songs from her Spanish repertoire.
