Customer Reviews

STRONG POP COLLECTION
A surprisingly effective excursion into pop for Baez, with a set of melodic songs gracefully interpreted. The lilting reggae of No Woman No Cry works well - she tweaked the lyrics (Trenchtown becomes Boystown) for a more universal application. Song At The End Of The Movie and Before The Deluge are magnificent sad songs without being despairing, whilst Honest Lullaby is autobiographical and reminiscent of the earlier Gulf Winds. An accomplished album then, with strong material and sophisticated delivery.

Best ever
I am trying to collect all of Joan Baez's recordings. The first time I really listened to her was when Diamonds and Rust came out, and I've been a fan ever since. I would have to say that Honest Lullaby and Gulf Winds are by far my favorites. I even cross stitched the chorus to Honest Lullaby and it is framed and hanging on my daughter's wall: "If you should ever wonder, how the years and you survived; Honey, you've gotta mother who sings to you, dances on a string for you, opens her heart and brings to you, an honest lullaby."

Sort of different, moody fare from Joan.
I have collected every record from this amazing woman, this one is one of my favorites. I guess that's because of the time it was released. It has a very moody tone to it. Beautifully sung, the songs are upbeat, reflective, honest, and moving. It is a hard to find recording, but worthy of a place in your CD library, even for hardcore folkies.
