What A Deal
Lovely and generous. This 2009 reissue of "Gone from Danger," which is a terrific CD in itself, includes a bonus CD of the 1997 Mountain Stage performances of the CD's material by Joan and colleagues Dar Williams, Sinead Lohan, Betty Elders, and Richard Shindell. So even if you have "Gone from Danger" (with or without the earlier limited bonus(es) of a couple of songs, you'll want this one.


Fantastic Music
Granted, it is different than her earlier material, but since when did an artist have to produce the same type of music over the period of time that her music has affected so many people? And since when did we expect that from other artists?

I loved the instrumentals on every track. What I like about this recording is that it shows Joan's genius as a songwriter. The lyrics are great. And most importantly, I find listening to it not only relaxing but also inspiring.

So why is music like this out of print? I find it especially frustrating in this day of everything being available from sellers who make downloads available.

No Doubt A Five!
It seems her work now is the best work she has done. Best tracks are: "Reunion Hill," "Crack In The Mirror,"
"February," "Fishing," Listen Listen Listen "If I Wrote You," "Who Do You Think I Am," Listen Listen and "Mercy Bound"

It surprised me how talented Joan Baez is. She is a great example of a musician who is evolving as she matures in life. This CD is a wonderful surprise, and I now count myself as a gigantic Baez fan. The Richard Shindell songs and "February" from Dar Williams are extremely well done. :)

Beautiful recording, well chosen songs, and excellent
Some of the music is a hard listen: "February" the story of a lost love and new beginning just about brings me to tears. Probably the best all-around of any Baez CD, in my opinion. "A crack in the mirror" about child abuse, cuts straight to the bone about the issue---from all points of view.

"Lily" which was written by Baez about a friend of hers from High School that she recently found is probably my favorite of the music. It's uptempo and reminds me strongly of hearing the song live at the Portland Zoo one full moon night.

Frankly, this album is as close as you can get to being there. .


perfect recording--my favorite joan baez
I listen to this album over and over with great appreciation. her voice is a beautiful as ever, her political stance as strong and unequivocal as ever. The arrangements are first-rate. The songs are selected with preternatural intuition. Thank you, Joan, for this wonderful recording. .
