As a classical singer, I don’t see vibrato as an effect, or a separate technique, it’s a result of healthy, free. vocal production. Straight tone is actually an effect, a result of tension, preventing vibrato. Baez has a natural free, beautiful voice. She sings better than many opera singers. I love her to pieces for singing, her playing, and her writing. She’s just brilliant.
@sectionalsofa Жыл бұрын
So nice to hear this from a classically trained singer. I've heard J Baez sing opera and I feel she has a real gift. I've had disagreements with those who favor Judy Collins. To me, Joan Baez is in a different league. "Haunting" is the perfect word to describe her voice, or as Bob Dylan said, "a voice like chimes."
@throckmortensnivel2850 Жыл бұрын
Joan Baez could stand in front of thousands of people, with only her voice and her guitar, and keep them spellbound for the length of her performance. I had the good fortune to see her live, and i can tell you her voice could raise the hair on the back of your neck. She was just incredible. This song of lost love is heart-wrenching, and brings tear every time I hear it.

She is singing about her relationship with Bob Dylan, of whom I have said that when he dies, my generation will come to an end. These people and these songs mattered. They mattered a lot, and it's wonderful to see them appreciated by a young musician from another culture and another generation. Hell, two or three generations ago.

This reminds me why i like somethings stripped down clean and clear folk music is often better when less is more,she put the artist part first ,and an artist can be a voice for those who don't have one in the conversation about them.

Thanks Fil, I had this LP back in the day. It was a favorite of mine but then .... it made me cry. Her story hit me in the heart. 🌼

I remember as a teenager buying "Farewell Angelina" and i damn near wore it out I played it so much, that is when The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan wasnt on my record player.
