The One I Had to Review
I love the others too. This CD is not in competition with her other ones. "Blessed Are" (disc 1) has the quality of seeming like a cohesive piece of art. To me, Ms Baez is a kind of jazz singer. I enjoy her whole songs, and in this case the whole CD, but there are moments, that she seems to have to work to find and create, when she does IT, that special voice quality that is perfect and so very beautiful. This CD has plenty of those and so don't her other CD's. In addition, "Blessed Are" is a nice little work of art. .


A Blessed voice
This is one of her best sets as it has several hits and lesser known gems and very few low spots, which mar some of her albums. The crisp rendition on this remastered cd does full justice to Joan Baez's heavenly voice. A must have if you love her voice and her poetry.


blast from past
It's such a pleasure to have it again on CD format. I first bought this album on vinyl in the 1970s, loved it and lost it. This is Joan Baez with her beautiful voice at its best. Enjoy.


Joan Baez Remastered
Joan Baez's musical interpretations have always been a favorite of mine -- since the time of my youth -- and she's one of the very few artists who's cover versions i can live with. i seem to have overlooked this item among others for some time. this is release belongs to a selection of CDs i must have as a complete set. few bonus tracks here though, that weren't released with the previous CD release. :-(

Manufacturing defect on remastered "Blessed Are"
Went to Tower and bought the CD; when I got home, the set contained two disks, both DISK #1. When this remastered disk came out, I was excited because "Warm and Tender Love" was on the second disk. So, I took it back to Tower and exchanged it for a new copy. I opened it before I bought it, and the new copy also contained two disks, again both DISK #1. Last week I ordered a copy from Amazon. com and I received it on Friday. The set had two disks alright, but this time they were both DISK #2. After calling Amazon and finding out how to return the disks, I called Vanguard Records and reported the manufacturing defect. Vanguard Records is going to send me the COMPLETE RECORDING. If you have encountered copies of this album with the same problem, contact Vanguard Records in Santa Monica, CA. The album deserves 5 stars for content. The music is beautiful and Joan, as always, is exquisite.
