My husband and I were 5 feet away from Joan Baez in a intimate setting at Chrysler Hall in Va.True Vocals and not a 'crack' in the voice. Many Folk Tunes the Audience knew well, yet restrained from joining in with such a heady 'spot on vocals'. We were all mesmerised. Enchantingly Lovely. As for 'Diamonds & Rust', a bad break~up was consoled by this CD. The Tears shed were floods. Soul aching and this would be the only way to Mourn.So, Snyder if you're out there, listen and remember the Love Lost. Hope You are Happy, as Am I.

Her title song is of course a classic but so are many of her cover songs. Her singing of John Prine's "Hello In There" is straight forward yet strikingly beautiful and her version of Stevie Wonder's "Never dreamed you'd leave in Summer" out does Stevie's own version. A great great album.

joan baez has the richest voice i have ever heard. it's inexplainable how gorgeous it is. the song diamonds and rust is wonderful, and the pain from her bitter breakup with dylan really comes through. she also does some great covers, especially janis ian's jesse. i grew up on the original lp, so i can only hope her voice is as warm as it is on a record on the cd

With the Vietnam War winding down, Joan Baez, who had devoted one side of her last album to her trip to Hanoi, delivered the kind of commercial album A&M Records must have wanted when it signed her three years earlier. But she did it on her own terms, putting together a session band of contemporary jazz veterans like Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, and Joe Sample, and mixing a wise selection from the work of current singer-songwriters like Jackson Browne and John Prine with pop covers of Stevie Wonder and the Allman Brothers Band, and an unusually high complement of her own writing. A&M, no doubt recalling the success of her cover of the Band's "The Night They ...
