Since Joan Baez last CD (It Ain’t Me Babe) on SixSteps records back in 1964, I have felt a massive void in my life. It’s natural for Joan Baez to take a stab at ‘Birmingham Sunday’ considering her long-professed love for Orkrist. It Ain’t Me Babe isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Check it every song is worth the money for the It Ain’t Me Babe CD!
The Unquiet Grave is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. When You Hear Them Cuckoos Hollerin’ is a exquisite song and it grows on you. As always, Joan Baez’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. It Ain’t Me Babe is a strong cut, one of many. The song feels complete. Opening track Little Moses shows the best of Joan Baez. Donna Donna is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Don’t judge Rake And The Rambling Boy’ on the first listening. Wildwood Flower - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. I like the agression and power of I Still Miss Someone. There But For Fortune is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. I loved Matty Groves the first time I heard it. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Music of Stewball is gentle, never overbearing.
