Rating:  - Good stuff, poor sound quality
I have been a Joan Baez fan since I was a child. Her early works are especially appealing because her young voice was so perfectly sweet, high and clear.
HOWEVER, that said, this is not a great recording. The cuts are pretty much unedited. There is a lot of ambient noise, and maybe some people feel that adds a cool ambiance, but for me it is really distracting and annoying. A live performance doesn't have to sound bad. Also, there is no equalizing going on - sometimes the guitar playing ... Read More
Rating:  - I understand all the fuss over Joan Baez!
I knew very little of Joan's voice and talent. My husband selected and purchased this album. What a wonderful discovery I've made. The more I play this album, the more I enjoy it. Joan has her best known songs on this album but it is the heart she puts into all of the songs that show her voice to it's best advantage. Relax, and listen to this exceptional album.
Rating: - Fresh Joan Baez
After so many years, listening to Joan Baez' early singing is refreshing. She sounds young, spontaneous, fun, original, yet mature. The ambience of protesting songs and 60's years, is well reflected in this work. Voice and guitar beautiful. Two tunes with Pete Seeger are two remarkable specimens. This is an album for any coleccionist. Long live to Joan!
Rating: - classic Joan
I have the LP (a double set) not this CD. I have worn it out over the years because the performances are hauntingly good. My favorites are Tears In My Eyes, Man of Constant Sorrow, Railroad Bill and Silver Dagger. The unfortunate thing about the CD version is that they cut two tracks: Streets of Laredo and My Good Old Man, which was also a favorite of mine. It's hard to believe this album was recorded in 1963, because it could have been 2003 since the songs have and will stand the test of time. ... Read More
Rating: - A HISTORIC CD...
This is a compilation of twenty-two songs culled from about fifteen of her early live concerts, which were recorded between November 1961 and August 1963. The original double album had twenty four tracks, but the back of the cd liner explains that, due to compact disc format time restrictions, some songs on the original album are not included on the cd. The notes in the cd liner itself were written by Ms. Baez's mother for the original album.
On this cd, the listener will, indeed, ... Read More
