Product ReviewsDiamonds & Rust by Baez, Joan (CD, 1990)

aaah.. What Can Be Said About the Best of the Best?

Joan Baez has been performing over 50 years and still sounds not a day over 20! Her vivid colorful protest songs from the '60's like, "Raise the Prisons" are (sadly), still applicable today. Plus, what fresh, young band just starting out has not tried to put their own spin on "Diamonds & Rust?" Just as Baez dreams her sweet dreams of the stranger in a twin bed with roses all around her, she paints an equally vivid picture of heartache and lonliness with "Please Come to Boston." Of course, the lesser known songs on the album are equally spellbinding & always have been. It's always funny when I play a copytune from an older LP like this, I still remember all the words... the songs really do remember when. 5 BIG GOLDEN STARS FOR THIS ONE... It Never Gets Old!

Still Stands Melodically

This CD was released as a vinyl LP sometime in my teen years and at that time was owned by a dear friend. It therefore punctuated some of the events and days of my youth, though I had never owned it. Since then, the songs have occasionally play in my head, particularly "Diamonds and Rust", "Jesse" etc. Recently, my father passed, and as I went through his things, Joan Baez' "I Never Dreamed You's Leave" played in my head and I sang it as if it were 1976. When I finally returned home, I was pleased to see that a re-released version of the album was available on CD, so I bought and played it. I was mesmerized by the fact that even by todays recording and song standards, Ms Baez' album stands as an interesting and strong offering of her musical talents. This album is well worth purchasing, and listening to again. Ms. Baez is indeed a talent for all ages.Read full review...

Diamonds & Rust by Joan Baez (CD)

I bought this album when it was first released in the mid 1970's and was never able to find it on CD until now. In my opinion it is some of the best music on any Joan Baez collections. I was so happpy to find this CD brand new and factory sealed and, as expected, it has a nice clean sound. Overall, a most excellent experience!Read full review...
