While no new Joan Baez album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1975 tour in Asia. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Joan Baez has. fourteen years ago, Joan Baez briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Fountain Of Sorrow”. One of Joan Baez’s best albums yet.
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Children And All That Jazz is the gorgeous blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. I came to like Simple Twist Of Fate. After you’ve listened to Blue Sky, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Hello In There has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Jesse has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Some call Winds Of The Old Days from Diamonds and Rust as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Dida one is one of the better boring ones. I listened to the opening track I Dream Of Jeannie, Danny Boy and liked it a lot.
