Description of Bowery Songs
Over four decades after her landmark live album, In Concert, Joan Baez returns with Bowery Songs--a new live album that captures her November 6, 2004, performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. USA Today has called Baez "the matriarch of modern folk music" and Bowery Songs celebrates her career and legacy with both classic and previously unreleased material. It features four previously unrecorded songs: Bob Dylan's "Seven Curses," Steve Earle's "Jerusalem," the hymn-like "Finlandia," and the traditional "Dink's Song." Baez is supported on the album by her recent touring band, George Javori, Duke McVinnie, Erik Della Penna, and Graham Maby. The Washington Post recently said of Baez's live performances, "... still familiar after decades... she commanded newer compositions with grace and agility.""Come back, Woody Guthrie," sings Joan Baez in Steve Earle's "Christmas in Washington," a lament for (among other things) the days when music really said and meant something. The song serves as the thematic linchpin of Bowery Songs, a live album that testifies to the power of music to transform, uplift, and heal. Baez not only revisits the spirits of Guthrie (on "Deportee") and "Joe Hill," she finds a renewal of such spirit in the contemporary songwriting of Earle (whose "Jerusalem" closes the album) and Natalie Merchant ("Motherland"). As one might expect from Baez in concert, she also mixes a selection of early Bob Dylan with traditional fare, bringing a lovely lift to the Irish balladry of "Carrickfergus" and soaring vocals to "Dink's Song." After more than four decades of recording, Baez's voice remains more impressive for its purity than expressive in range and depth (her pretty rendition of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" seems to miss the bitter point). Except for a dedication to Michael Moore and a few thank-yous, the album eliminates all between-song patter, letting the material speak for itself. --Don McLeese
