A prayer for peace and a clear message in a clear voice
Joan Baez, who lives by the spirit of folk music, sings social themes with her clear voice in this work. The simple, acoustic accompaniment accentuates the power of her words.
This is one of Joan Baez's albums that most clearly conveys her social message. Though the arrangement is simple, consisting of just one guitar, her vocals are filled with both strong will and compassion. While the theme is war and peace, the song's structure is impressive, quietly appealing to human dignity without being preachy. The beautiful English lyrics have the power to speak directly to the listener. This work is imbued with universal expression, evoking the origins of folk music.
