Binding: Audio CD EAN: 7930183002238 Label: Razor & Tie Manufacturer: Razor & Tie MPN: 83002 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Razor & Tie Release Date: September 09, 2008 Studio: Razor & Tie Rating:  - 50 years and still true to herselfThis her best album in a long time. Congratulations to Steve Earle for the quality but understated instrumentation. Her voice shines through. Some reviewers give it low rating because it is "Christian". Get a life. It is certainly religious (not consistently Christian) but that is not new to her music. And it is thoroughly anti-war, as you would expect from Joan and Steve. Ignore the nutter anti-Christians. If you can get over the fact that after 50 years her voice is no longer that pure soprano that captivated me in 1960, her voice is still special. Rating:  - 33 rpm Vinyl???I would have loved to be able to write a review, except I received this item as a 33 rpm vinyl record!! Didn't think they made those anymore. So, I ended up returning it (a slight hassle) and then was able to get this item as a CD from Barnes & Noble. Once I was able to listen to the CD it was definitely worth the wait. Simply beautiful!! Rating:  - Star of the SeaWhen I first heard "The Day After Tomorrow", I have to admit that I was disappointed with the loss of range and power in Ms Baez' voice. After a few listens,however, I warmed to her warm tones and stripped-down intimacy. At 67 years, the 60s Madonna evokes the Catholic Madonna and one longs to be wrapped in the arms of her wisdom and life-experience. It could be the spirit of Mary or it could be the spirit of Isis; whatever it is, in this CD, Baez welcomes the loving return of a lost generation, staggered by 2 disastrous wars and political agony. The maternal spirituality is strongest in "God is God", "Mary", "The Lower Road" and "Scarlet Tide." This is Baez' best effort since "Gone from Danger". She lets us see her in her deep strength and her diamond-edged fragility. Rating: - Very sadI am a long time fan of Joan Baez. I have followed her music since her first album when I was in college. Sadly, this is the worst cd that I think I have ever listened to and I'm very sad that it is her's. The song selection is dreary and boring and the voice not quite as good as her last album. A little too much religion for my personal taste. But the reviews on this cd when it came out were excellent and so I bought one for myself and sent another one to a friend for Christmas. I feel like calling him and apolgizing for the horrible cd. Rating: - STILL THE BESTAfter 50 years, she still speaks to me. Just a fabulous album. The Day After Tomorrow is going to be worn out if that's possible. I love the entire album, but agree I wish it were longer!
