Great performance--terrible audio engineering

"Baez is one of the greatest folk singers ever to come along. Her performance on this CD is superb. However, the transition from LP to CD is sadly lacking. It is one of those cases when someone is trying to put something into the sound that wasn't there originally. Track 4 (The Dove) is a perfect example. The snare drums come in sounding like raspy tin cans. If you can get your hands on the LP, it is well worth it."

"I am diehard Joan Baez fan and I find this work to be one of her finest.It contains compositions by her as well as some written by others.Her angelical voice shines throughout but specifically in THe Lady Came From Baltimore and Allan Poe's Annabel Lee.The feelings of longing from a long gone love resonate in the self penned North whereas passion inundates her rendition of Paul Simon's Dangling Conversation.To sum it, a gem."

"...though its more orchestration than pop.I adore Eleanor Rigby among the other hidden gems in this oft over looked album. I enjoy it, adore it and recommend it!"
