JOAN BAEZ was the ultimate diva of the folk revivalist era. Following Bob Dylan, she took her singing into the protest movements, particularly Civil Rights, and ultimately Vietnam War peace movement. Unlike Dylan, however, Joan Baez continued to be at the forefront of the nonviolent, anti-war movement. She continues to attract a large following of devoted fans. Her CD ANY DAY NOW is totally comprised of the early Bob Dylan songs. Other than Dylan himself, Baez is clearly the paramount interpreter of them. Her rendition of Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is particularly moving as many people have speculated that the lyrics are a portrait of Baez; others say it is an ironic paean to the Statue of Liberty. Certainly it is one of Dylan's most beautiful and enigmatic works.

I Must Agree...
I must agree completely with the above review. . . "Everything about this album is just SO RIGHT: her phrasing, the choice of songs and her elegant delivery". . . indeed.


Classic reissued with 2 bonus tracks
I heard some of Dylan's songs here first and only later experienced his own versions, for example I Dreamed I Saw St. This is an album of superb Dylan interpretations and its enlightening to hear his work from a female perspective. Augustine which is definitely very different (and more beautiful to me) in Baez's version. Other great tracks include I Pity The Poor Immigrant (still as socially relevant as ever), Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word, the heart-breaking Walls Of Redwing (about inmates in a jail), One Too Many Mornings, Boots Of Spanish Leather and Restless Farewell. Everything about this album is just SO RIGHT: her phrasing, the choice of songs and her elegant delivery. This is a classic folk album of the 1960s and also essential listening for Dylan fans. I love it. This re-issue contains two live bonus tracks that were recorded in Japan.
