Blessed Are…, Joan Baez, 1971, 1:30
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
A double album from the queen of folk music. Baez' rich soprano, while strong and pleasant, isn't my favorite instrument and I'm not really a folkie, so this didn't grab me like it might have. There's nothing boring about it, it just rarely rises to the level of inspiring. Favorite tracks: the covers of "Salt of the Earth" and "Let It Be" are both terrific versions. I also like "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz."
