A return to olden days - I have every CD or record Joan Baez has ever issued. Attended concerts. Just love her. Wasn t wild about her last CD or two. So didn t have super high expectations with this one but was very pleasantly surprised. It s got a very strong religious flavour - sort of black spiritual meets Roman Catholic. And it hearkens back to some of her earliest music...before she was protesting and angry. More joyful and content. It had a bit of finding God theme, which might be associated with ageing and mortality... Nice CD.A post review edit: I ve now listened to this several times. Just for the two cuts - Rose of Sharon and Mary I d buy it.
