Amazon.co.uk Review:
Joan Baez, whose career spans five super-impressive decades, proves she is still a force to be reckoned with on this 24th studio album. Focusing on major topics like wartime, religion and death, Baez has teamed up with Steve Earle, who has not only produced the album but contributed three songs (two new compositions, and an a cappella version of his "Jericho Road"). As on previous collections, what makes this particular record a resounding success is the choice of songs. Baez covers tunes by Eliza Gilkyson, Diana Jones, Elvis Costello, T-Bone Burnett, as well as British songwriter Thea Gilmore. Though the compositions are generally upbeat, the mood is reflective as Baez's famed soprano--shorn of some of its top notes by now--weaves its spell over these largely acoustic numbers. The standout song is perhaps the title track, an affecting Iraq War ballad originally penned by Tom Waits. Where Waits typically performs it in his inimitably grizzled manner, Baez plays it gently, accompanied by insouciant acoustic guitar, subsequently transforming it into an even more human and fragile moment. A dazzling collection. --Danny McKenna

- Wonderful!
I haven't stopped playing this album since I bought it a few weeks ago. It's haunting, beautiful, buy it! Mary, track 7, is just heart stopping.
Rating: - (a word in edgeways)
That cover pic: the radiance in those eyes, and that smile! Wow, Joan: so glad to have you back, dear friend.
The flowers on the cd, the warm heart of a kindred spirit, that never-aging how-could-one-forget soprano. The deep humanity and universality, too.
By the time the first spin of this cd was through, a 6 or 7 lyric file had been compiled.
Here, amidst all the useless political squabble over our handkerchief-sized Belgium, we've never ceased to find truth in your ... Read More

- The Original versions are much better
It wrankles with me that Ms Baez is put on a pedestal as one of folks great artist yet to my knowledge she has never written a song of her own but gets all the credit for these wonderful songs! I urge listeners to check out the original tracks by the artists who penned them, they are much better versions, esp' Thea Gilmore, Eliza Gilkyson & Patty Griffin.
Rating: - Stupendous
I put this on my iPod as soon as I was able to lay my hands on a review copy a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I have listened to it almost every day, and never felt inclined to skip a single track. I've been a fan of Joan Baez's ever since, as a teenager, I discovered some of her early Vanguard recordings. But I haven't felt this way about a Baez album for at least three decades. The review below was written for The Australian newspaper:
It has been quite a while since the ethereal ... Read More
Rating: - Joan Baez heads home on the "DAY AFTER TOMORROW".
Joan appears to be very much at home in a musical, spiritual, and political sense on this album, the 24th studio recording of her now 50 year long career. This collection of 10 songs provides much for the head & heart to think and feel.
With the use of only acoustic instruments, the album provides an echo of Joan's early folk records. The difference in this record is how diverse the ensemble of instruments is: guitar, mandolin, Hawaiian guitar, resonator guitar, bouzouki, harmonium, ... Read More
