Joan

Joan Baez

Lush chamber arrangements meet crystalline soprano. A sophisticated pivot from solo guitar to baroque folk, weaving anti-war themes through orchestral tapestries.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden swell of woodwinds and strings on Eleanor Rigby transforming a folk cover into a baroque tragedy.
The devastatingly calm delivery of the final verse in Saigon Bride as the orchestration fades into a haunting silence.
The intricate, seven-minute narrative arc of The Greenwood Side where the strings mimic the tension of the folk tale.
