Ring Them Bells is a set of live performances originally from 1995 but has recently (this year) been expanded and re-issued.

There are several duets on it with the likes of Janis Ian, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Joan's sister Mimi (Farina). That is also a lovely album.

Joan has been using a professional voice coach since she started having a few problems at the end of the 70s. The result is that she doesn't sing quite as high up her register any more, but still gets pretty high. If anything, it makes her voice warmer and more listenable than some of the 60s and 70s recordings, where she could be slighlty shrill. She must have a new coach now, because the guy she had used for 20+ years died a couple of years back.
