    Bowery Songs

    By WaynonM  Oct 25, 2006

    Pros: Finlandia is good

    Cons: Too much electric guitar and drum -- mechanical

    My favorite singer EVER laid a big one this time. The electric guitar is SO out of place and sounds so mechanical as do the drums. Sounds like one of those automated accompaniments that come with automated keyboards. Really distracted from a great vo...ice. I was very disappointed. If I had listened to this cd before I bought eight front and center tickets to her current tour I would have saved my money! What! Me not go see Joan, whom I have practically worshipped for her beautiful voice and heroic political stands against violence and wrong. Yes, this new "style" is so wrong. In many places on old favorite stand-bys like "joe Hill" you can hear her rush to try to keep up with the mechanical drummer. I would not take my children to see this one. Joan, please be who you are -- you don't need that junk. You and a guitar alone beat anyone else out there, and many of your past backup bands have been wonderful. Theyr're not the star -- YOU ARE Make them follow you. Love you anyway. You're my hero. Waynon Read more Less

    All This Amazing Grace

    By David  Sep 6, 2005

    Pros: Top-notch material, band, and voice, 14 songs!

    Cons: minimal liner notes / not a full concert

    On this live recording (New York City at the Bowery Ballroom 11/06/04) Joan Baez sings Greg Brown’s composition “Rexroth’s Daughter”, a song full of a lifetime’s worth of insightful lyrics. One phrase that stood out specifically to me as I liste...ned to it on this particular recording was: “If you try to swallow what they shove at us you run out of tears to cry I heard a man speak quietly I listened for awhile He spoke from his heart to my woe then he bowed and smiled What is real but compassion as we move from birth to death?” Compassion is woven throughout Joan’s performance here, as she sings quietly, sweetly, sadly, and strongly, of age-old woes, dreams, hopes, and the desire for peace, both personal and political. This is a record that exemplifies (while updating) the best of the folk music tradition: Joan has chosen to record top-notch material from her vast repertoire; from old traditional ballads (such as “Silver Dagger” and “Dink’s Song”) to contemporary com Read more Less
