by
Joan Baez
A month-and-a-half after the release of her first studio recording in six years, and perhaps her finest recording since 1975's Diamonds & Rust, Joan Baez's complete A&M recordings offer a revelatory view of the artist at her most adventurous. Baez's tenure with A&M lasted from 1972-1976 and yielded five studio albums, a live recording, and three ...

by
Pete Seeger
Pete Seeger's repertoire was not limited to songs with specific sociopolitical goals, and the most familiar versions of his most popular tunes were done for Columbia. Still, it's hard to imagine doing better than this compilation of Folkways recordings (most from the late '50s and '60s) if you want evidence of Seeger's importance and skills as a ...

by
Paul Robeson
Culled from six concerts given in the 1940s, with most of its tracks previously released on 78-rpm albums in that decade, this disc, as annotator Paul Robeson, Jr., notes, presents Paul Robeson at the peak of his singing career (from age 44 to 49) and re-creates a typical recital. Robeson sings spirituals, folk songs from various countries in ...

by
Various Artists
In the era of the sound bite, when songs are used to hawk everything from shampoo, soap, and cars to wine coolers, dating services, and Viagra, it is easy to lose sight of the more noble utilitarian use songs can have, and this haunting collection of 20th century labor songs calling for fairness, dignity, and a just wage is a compelling document ...

One Day at a Time [Bonus Tracks]
(2005)
more music like this
by
Joan Baez
One of the oft-overlooked aspects of Joan Baez's career in the '60s is that after the first four albums, she never did the same thing twice; what's more, with the possible exception of the Baptism album, she succeeded at least 90 percent of the time in practically everything new that she tried during that decade. One Day at a Time is much closer ...

Carry It On
(1971)
more music like this
by
Joan Baez
This soundtrack intersperses acoustic live performances with politically oriented dialog, much of which is spoken by her then-husband, draft resister David Harris. It's certainly one of the most minor entries of her Vanguard catalog. The dialogue is distracting, and the music reasonable but uneven, as Baez offers interpretations of songs by Gram ...

Vanguard: Roots of Folk

by
Various Artists
Vanguard was one of the leading folk labels of the 1960s, due both to its own studio releases and its anthologies of performances from the Newport Folk Festivals. This is a three-CD set of Vanguard material from that era, encompassing live and studio tracks by many of the major icons of the time. The list is pretty amazing, in fact: the Weavers, ...

Best of Joan Baez [Vanguard]

Vanguard's Best of Joan Baez is a solid, if brief, collection that features a handful of her best-known songs -- "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "There But for Fortune, " "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger, " "Joe Hill, " "Silver Dagger, " "Pack up Your Sorrows, " "We Shall Overcome" -- but it leaves just as many off the disc. It's not a ...

The same year that A&M U.S. released the single-disc, 20-track Greatest Hits, A&M U.K. released this double-disc, 33-track compilation from the same period of Joan Baez's career, i.e., her five-year, five-album sojourn at the label from 1972 to 1976. You'd figure that this one would get the nod over the shorter American disc, right? Wrong. ...
