Equally as good as Part 1
I believe Marianne Faithfull was very inspired by this album at the time. Joan's voice couldnt fail during this period and this album contains many famous songs, Once i had a sweetheart, don't think twice its alright, etc. A must have!.


Joan at her best
Everything, up to and including 'Nu Bello Cardillo, which is, by the way sung in dialectical Italian, probably Siciliano, and NOT Portuguese, as previously mentioned is worth the price of this album. I have to tell you, if you are looking for the best Joan Baez ever had to offer early on, then this is the album for you. If only to hear Joan sing in perfect Italian! Manha de Carnaval/Te Ador, Queen of Hearts are achingly, longingly sung in Baez's beautiful young, pure soprano. This is my favorite Joan Baez album, which carried me through the 60's right up to the present. Buy it, -- you won't regret it! .


THE EARLY JOAN BAEZ THAT WE KNOW AND LOVE...
All but one of the tracks was recorded at various concerts during her tours in August 1962 and October/November 1963. This cd is quintessential early Joan Baez, simply strumming her guitar and singing folk songs that she loves. The sole exception is "We Shall Overcome", which was recorded at Miles College, in Birmingham, Alabama.

This cd is even better than Joan Baez In Concert Part 1. The selection of songs is better, as it contains more traditional folk songs, a fact that purists may wish to note. These songs serve to showcase her sweet, clear soprano to perfection. Moreover, her affection for this repertoire is evident in the feeling she evokes with her exquisite singing of these songs. This is particularly notable when she sings "Once I Had a Sweetheart", "Jackaroe", and "Queen of Hearts".

Ms. Baez also sings two songs in Portuguese, "Manha De Carnaval/Te Ador", one of the most beautiful and haunting songs on this cd, as well as the traditional "Nu Bello Cardillo". She also gives her own rousing interpretation to a perennial country favorite, "Long Black Veil".

The cd also contains two Bob Dylan songs, the popular "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright", as well as "With God on Our Side". The latter track, one of Dylan's best songs, is done ample justice by the moving interpretation by Ms. Baez. It is one of my favorites tracks on this cd.

This is a live concert recording, so be prepared for clapping and an enthusiastic reception by the concert crowds, as well as some crowd interaction and participation. The audience joins Joan Baez in singing "We Shall Overcome".


An Old Friend Remastered

For some reason my parents, whose taste in music usually ran to Perry Como and Nana Mouskouri, and whose political sensibilities are light-years away from radical, bought a cassette of this album when I was about 8 or 9. Indulge me for a brief personal story. I fell in love with "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "With God on Our Side," and was thus introduced to a guy named Bob Dylan, who has been a staple of my musical life for over 30 years now. I eventually swiped--umm. . . borrowed--the tape when I moved out of my parents' home, and I was amazed at the power of the other songs, too--"Once I Had a Sweetheart," "Portland Town" and "Queen of Hearts" are particular standouts. In a world of heavily over-produced, synthetic music (and this is about as far from Britney as you can get!), it's refreshing to hear a singer who can profoundly move an audience with just a guitar, a voice, and a shy request to remove her shoes. Highly recommended.


great music for the whole family
35 years later I can still recall every note and word, and they sound just as good. My parents owned this album and I used to go to sleep listening to it. Not only did this album give me the gift of singable music at a young age, it also exposed me--along with "David's Album" which my parents also owned--to the importance of social justice. Listening to war protest songs at a young age was a gentle but powerful introduction to activism, and I only hope that this music will do the same for my kids. Even without the message, the songs are beautiful, sad, haunting, and unforgettable. The whole family can enjoy them!.
