Music reviews of First Ten YearsMusic Review: If I were a carpenter, she'd be my kind of lady
It's too bad that "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" was the popular AM radio song we judged her on. It was an ok song but did nothing to steer me into hearing more of her music. Which was my great loss. I rediscovered her after reading her autobiography. I hadn't realized how interesting she was. After reading her book I went and bought this CD and another greatest hits of her more recent work. "Ghetto" is dated but represents the period it came from accurately. "If I Were A Carpenter" is a beautiful blue collar love song: simple and sincere. "Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word" is too twangy for me. I pass it over when I play the CD. "There But For Fortune" is one of the true gems of this collection, and a nice introduction to Phil Ochs (her rendition stimulated an interest in my searching for other music by Ochs). "John Riley" is typical folk "wall flower" music. I'm not interested in these type of stories. "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" isn't really a good song but an enjoyable song to listen to. "Mary Hamilton" another indistinguishable folk "wall flower" song. It would be a great campfire song, however. "Manha De Carnaval" is another gem. A melodious trip that shows Baez's voice in a different light. "If I Knew" is a great performance with a poignant message. Tells us what is really strong and appealing about a man who is more sensitive. "With God On Our Side" is one of my two favorites on this CD. A political, relevant message that makes one think. I can play it ten times and not become tired of listening to its message. The absolute best version of it. Dylan has never done this one justice. "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" another Dylan classic and well done by Baez. "Geordie" another folk "wall flower" piece. "Te Ador" a melodic treat. "No Expectations" is no melodic treat. "Sweet Sir Galahad" yuk! Sappy! "Turquoise" nicely done. "Farewell Angelina" another folksy song but this one is really good. "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" the best version of the most poetic song written under the umbella of rock n' roll. Dylan is the great American poet of the twentieth century, even better than Ginsberg. This song and especially this version is an anthem to all that was worth anything in the 60's and 70's. The imagery and undercurrents of this song are biblical and much more. This is Baez, Dylan and our generation at its best!
