I have seen Baez several times in concert but not in recent years. The last time she was pushing Amnesty International and I felt the concert was blah (nothing to do with A.I.). I also have most of her earlier tapes, In Concert Parts I & II and Joan being my favorites. Then I was perusing the local music store and came across Ring Them Bells and was delighted! Her choice of "Guest" artists is amazing and she sounds fabulous. And, if the earlier Baez did not suit you because of the "vibrato," Ring Them Bells is a perfect showcase for her matured voice ... moonchild
