Thread Name: Joan Baez- educated recent opinion?
Subject: RE: Joan Baez- educated recent opinion?
I haven't seen her live in a long time and felt like her voice had really lost something since her early Vanguard LP's. It was like she was singing in too high a register and everything sounded kind of strained. Then I saw her on Austin City Limits a few years back with an excellent acoustic band (featuring a fingerstlyist playing some very tasteful, jazzy leads) and she seemed to be singing in a lower range, than she had been, that seemed much better suited to her and sounded quite good.
