A golden voice matched with moving songs" Joan Baez has a great voice and she delivers the songs on this CD with heartfelt emotion. When I popped this CD into the player for the first time, I simply fell back and said, "Wow. It is a great CD. The only drawback is that on one or two cuts you can hear (if you listen very carefully) some crowd noise, otherwise the sound is outstanding. Her duet with Mary Travers on "Lonesome Valley" is moving. Her duets with Dylan are only OK because their singing styles don't compliment each other. I would recommend this CD if you like any acoustic stuff that the Cranberries have done. Why? Because Dolores O'Riordan's range is similar (but not quite as extensive) as Joan Baez's range. Highly recommended.
Excellent historical recordings
Liner notes could be better, though : it would be nice to know at which years' festival each of these recordings were made. Fine material and performances.
