#445. The combination of folk music and opera wannabe vocals is damn near torturous to listen to. 1/5: fuck me, man
Lauleskelee ja lypsyttää kappaletta nimeltä new orleans. Sovitaan että 1 star ainakun tuo kys. kappale albumille päätyy heh. Tämän albumin kuitenkin arvostelen chilling and wibing scaalalla
How did this album ever make this list? Seriously the single worst album I have ever heard in my life her voice made my teeth inch
I hated this album from beginning to end. Awful singing, bland guitar. Simply terrible.

Boring just beyond boring
I didn't like this at all. I just don't really care for her voice or style. The arrangements were too similar, making an otherwise diverse selections of songs into a pretty monotonous album.
I feel like if this was in a movie I loved I would be praising it to no end, but as it stands by itself, this woman’s voice is totally insufferable
Sorry Joan ears bleeding
I really couldnt stand this album. I mean, I guess I can see how some people might be into it, but I just couldnt stand it. 1/5
The best part of this album was when it need and I never have to hear this again. A ghastly album. Utter crap.
Can´t stand the voice. Quit after track 3.
Joan Baez is of course extremely well known and loved by many. I've never been one of her fans and this album doesn't change anything. Typical folk music singing. Songs played at a camp fire by so many. Of course she can sing, of course she can play the guitar ... but there is - in my opinion - simply nothing special at all about this.
not for me
Damn this is old. I've listened to older albums on here like "Birth of Cool" but this just feels so ancient. It's just her and the guitar which is an admirable feat but, it sucks. The guitar is fine but her singing is not for me at all. The fact that nothing else is going on other than the guitar and vocals makes it a very skippable album.
I’m probably going to get kicked out of the senior citizen white American woman club for this, but man do I find her singing hard to listen to! No thank you.
5 seconds was enough for me to make up my mind about it, but I decided to give it another 20 seconds, that being said, can I have my 20 seconds back now?
This was one of the toughest listens in a while and came during a stretch of some very bad albums for this listener. Not much to say except this is something I would never seek out and something I never an to hear again. If this was a top listen in 1960, I'm convinced this was the best year for top quality acid. 1
Awful. Every song was pain. Butchered House of the Rising Sun too
Bile inducing.
Hate the techno
This really felt like it went on forever. Not a big folk music fan and after awhile Joan Baez’s earnest high pitched voice got pretty grating and gave me a headache.
Never listened to Joan Baez before this. Never will again. Magnificent voice and a great storyteller, but just could not handle the music. Felt like I was at a rennasounce fair, and for far too long.
terrible. could not finish.
Avec tes grandes dents là
Sorry not for me
Album feels simple. There was nothing that stood out to me. Just kinda dragged along.
Singer/songwriter, folk, blues, ballads, female, mid/slow, guitar, voice very much in focus, quite fragile, no beat/rhythm, hard to follow, not catching me at all, voice too high and too much tremolo
🤮🤮🤮🤮
First listen Saved 2/13 Top track: House Of The Rising Sun
Boring and seemingly never-ending
Boring as fuck. This album did not aged well...
Not for me 1
SoZi Musik die man sich am Lagerfeuer anhören kann, während man sich über den Aufstieg des Proletariats unterhält und Mate Tee trinkt.
Goes on really far too long for someone with a really annoying voice. Also ruins a couple of classics, fuck off.
very big Blue by Joni Mitchell vibes. i hate that album
Not for me personally
BORING
Not a fan of her voice, the guitar is excellent, but I couldn't finish listening to it.
I just can't stand the over vibrato in her voice
Nope, nope, nope... I cannot stand Joan Baez's voice. Fucking pencils in my ears.
Really not my thing at all. I struggled through with the hope of some sort of musical respect but nope, it was terrible.
nah
Folk vind ik eigenlijk altijd wel leuk. Het wordt alleen net wat minder leuk als de zangeres klinkt alsof ze op een trilplaat staat. In combinatie met haar heldere, hoge stem klinkt ze daardoor als een theremin en dat is niet het prettigste geluid. Het glazuur springt letterlijk(!) van m'n tanden. Lastig, want ik zou hier graag een voldoende voor geven omdat ze mooie liedjes (lekker folky gitaren) prima zingt (ze zingt niet vals o.i.d.), maar ik kan dit alleen luisteren als ik het heel zachtjes zet en dan nog hakt die stem er enorm in.
OMG No. I hated this so much I hated her voice I hated the way her voice quivered and everything. Big no.
Oersaai, irritante stem, niks voor mij.
I mean Baez no disrespect, but this album is like when scientists find the reason why dinosaurs went extinct. In our case it wasn’t a rogue asteroid, but rather the world of music moving away from this yodeling based genre of folk music.
Horribly annoying
Awful, winey voice
All the covers of classics on this album are significantly worse than their original versions, and the originals are nothing to write home about. I really just can't do folk music at all. Favorite track: El Preso Numero Nueve
Not my cup of tea
Really hate folk, country the lot.
Очень плохо
So boring. Couldn't even zone out to it because she hits those weird yodeling notes.
very very very pretty voice.
not a fan, however that might be ebcuase i'm not a complete fan of pure country music
No ty
I don't understand how people enjoy her singing.
It's country. Not my case.
Oh fucking Christ, more folk rock. 1/5.
Really not for me. I hope her later stuff is better. I tried but really couldn’t listen to any of the tracks all the way through.
The worst
Simplistic and religious. Boring.
Really want to give this 0. What a trash album.
Horrible
The songs were OK but it sounds like it was being sung by a strangled cat.
URGH. sksjfbruqiehrjr. no comment
Insufferable
1/10
Not awful, but not for me. Grates a bit. Gets boring. Didn't get through it.
