Search - Joan Baez :: Come From the Shadows

Best of Baez's work

"This is the best recording Baez ever made in my opinion. Both the vocals and music are superb. Her eerie minors are very soothing and oh so nostolgic."

Too pure for this cynical age?

"I also think this is a great record, and one of the most emotional experiences I get from listening to a song, I get when listening to "The Partisan." I don't normally have heroic fantasies about becoming a Freedom Fighter, but for some reason, the combination of Leonard Cohen's words, the driving beat and the descending note riff, and Joan's voice just moves me to goosebumps, and incipient tears by the time she get to the last verse. Pick this one up if you like Joan. For the cynics among you, it's probably too late."
