Music reviews of Farewell, Angelina

Music Review: More accessible and less dark, but no less beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars

For her fifth album "Farewell, Angelina", Joan Baez, by now an established star with Top Ten albums in both Britain and the United States, moved away from the spare, dark and atmospheric renditions of traditional folk material that had dominated her first five albums, of which the two live releases In Concert and In Concert, Part 2 had been the best.

"Farewell, Angelina" ornamented Baez' voice and guitar with acoustic double bass on all twelve tracks and half also featured Bruce Langhorn on electric guitar. Whilst this did make for a less dark atmosphere that may be easier to digest for listeners my age who never were exposed to American folk this traditional, such songs as the title track and "Hard Rain's A-Gonna-Fall" (which I knew from the brilliant 1973 Bryan Ferry rendition) showed Baez singing in a way that reaches the heart in a way seldom equalled.

The more traditional numbers themselves, like "The Wild Mountain Thyme", lost little from the changed approach of Baez and producer Maynard Solomon because Joan obviously possessed such complete confidence that she could tackle styles of music well beyond basic guitar-and-voice folk with wonderful ease - shown later on her last really good album Baptism where she lost no beauty when speaking poetry. With my knowledge of linguistics I see humour in Baez' failure to properly pronounce the front rounded vowels in "Sagt mir, wo die Blumen Sind"! "Satisfied Mind", the darkest track on the album, is made really cryptic by Baez' and Solomon's penchant for deep, beautiful arrangements.

All in all, this is a change of direction, but one with which Baez clearly was totally confident. Definitely recommended for fans of traditional folk.
