Editoral Review She wasn't the movement's greatest talent, but her work helped shape all women balladeers who followed. She had the public persona of a saint, and a face and voice that captured all the idealism, innocence, and optimism of the '60s folk revival. Baez's best youthful work is here, including a host of Dylan songs: "Don't Think Twice," "Gates of Eden," "Farewell Angelina," and "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word," one of the best songs Dylan wrote but never recorded. Her version of Phil Ochs's "There but for Fortune" is her finest vocal interpretation, a political song that never ceases to move. --Roy Francis Kasten ..
