Summary: Snow Drifts
Comment: "Day After Tomorrow" is an excellent Baez disc IMHO! Her song selections continue to be powerful. Her voice, while weathered, remains expressive and powerful. Patty Griffin's "Mary" has a lovely melody that Baez embodies completely as she finds inspiration from the example of the mother of Jesus, "Every time the snow drifts, every time the sand shifts, even when the night lifts, she's always there." Eliza Gilkyson wrote two tracks that Baez recorded. "Rose of Sharon" was originally on Eliza's CD Redemption Road. Steve Earle's acoustic guitar compliments Baez's voice that brims with emotion, "Rise up my love & come away, the rain is over & gone, you are the fruit of my darkest day." "Requiem" from Gilkyson's Paradise Hotel is masterfully sequenced after "Mary" as Baez combines the same persona to arrive at a statement of hope, "In the dark night of our soul, bring some comfort to us all." Particularly moving to me is Baez's version of "Henry Russell's Last Words" that introduces the "Mary" image with "Oh how I love you Mary." The track takes me closest to Baez's early folk days with its slow progression & Tim O'Brien's bouzouki giving a quaint and somber feel. "Day After Tomorrow" is a strong set, masterfully compiled & admirably performed. Bravo!

Summary: The woman can still make me cry
Comment: buy this if you want something you will never regret buying. Dylan loved her and so do I. The cover she does of the Tom Waits song is great and Mary made me swell up with emotion. I sure was glad to see that she has not sold out and still stayed true to herself.

Summary: She's definitely lost her good looks but she's still got great pipes!
Comment: Could definitely do without the Skeletor album cover but the songs are still decent and her voice is very good for someone her age. "Rose of Sharon" is easily the highlight of the album, but "I Am A Wanderer" is pretty good too. Like the old saying goes, don't judge this book by its cover.

Summary: Well, she's aged better than I have, but...
Comment: Like a lot of the reviewers, I've been a fan since her first album. The reviewers are kind. I love her, I was thrilled to run into her at the Ahwahnee at Yosemite a couple of years ago and hear her sing an impromptu song - and, yes, her voice is still good. But it's not what it was. Listen - if you like it, fine, buy a cut or two. But - ah - like all of us, she is not as young as she used to be. Her voice from her 20's is a pretty high bar to measure against.

Summary: Day After Tomorrow
Comment: I am sorry to say I was very disappointed in this composition. There are only a couple of songs that should have been released on this CD. It was not recorded well, sound quality is poor and at times it sounds like she is singing off key. I had been waiting to get it after hearing one of the songs on the radio a few times that was a nice vintage from Joan Baez.

2008 marks Joan Baex 50th anniversary as a recording artist. The album was produced by the legendary Steve Earle. Joan gives her distinct interpretations to songs from Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin and more. Razor and Tie.
