JimC.Oct 5, 2008Badly produced and amateurish recording especially the first three cuts where the out of tune guitar overwhelms her voice. Low production values spoil some interesting songs. One hopes her current tour does not feature too many efforts like this.

CarolM.Sep 19, 2008As Joan ages, so does her wisdom as does her devotion solidify. This is a beautiful album, filled with images and themes that has long been the foundation of her life, vaues and ideals. Excellent job, Joan, once again, you have been a beacon,a guiding light in the storm and fog.

GeorgeM.Sep 11, 2008A lovely mellow sound throughout this Cd with Joan Baez's gorgeous vocals and exquisite instrumentalisation from the ensemble of musicians - brilliant!

TrinaSep 10, 2008Haunting and awe-inspiring, as only Ms. Baez can deliver time and again!

GregoryS.Sep 10, 2008Deeply inspiring, strong and moving songs delivered simply from her heart to the listeners heart.... a very moving litany of stories.

JeffreyM.Sep 9, 2008Joan at her mellow mature best, an incrediby cohesive set, and arranged in a poignant journey, true to her beginnings and her present. Wonderful simple production, just spontaneous enough, rich and powerful, SO joan.

AlC.Sep 9, 2008Joan has always been a superb interpreter of other artist's material. This album is no exception. Although her voice has aged a bit, she continues to use it as an instrument of beauty and conviction. Great CD.

DickC.Sep 9, 2008Joan's soprano is gone, but her witty style and warm embrace of this acoustic material bookend a career begun in 1959, which launched the folk music revolution. She is the Goddess of folk , and Steve Earle's production reveals the adoration of an acolyte to the matriarch of a genre. Best in years.

At 67, Baez betrays some vocal aging, but she uses it wisely to impart extra feeling into what is often a downbeat collection of quality songs, and Earle has succeeded in his attempt not to reinvent her, but to re-create her sound and message in contemporary terms.
-
Grasslands, wind in your hair, long, dusty roads travelled - it's all evoked in Joan's fine 24th studio album, and her voice, high and flowing, low and gravelly, flows timelessly through it like a mountain stream.
-
It's a fruitful partnership: Earle's hard-won earthiness acts as a counterweight to Baez's ethereal tendencies, and Day After Tomorrow leans toward tough-minded material with blues and Appalachian overtones.
