As a lifelong fan of traditional bluegrass music, I have already heard versions of nearly all these songs and I was kind of excited to get this album. I'd never really listened to Joan Baez much; so, this would be a first for me. Not a fan, though. Should have been titled "Vibrato: The Album." She has to end every note with an obnoxious, ear splitting trill. You know how sometimes, you're trying to sleep in on the weekend but there's a mockingbird outside your window that won't shut up? That's Joan Baez. If Tiny Tim made a folk album, it would've sounded like this. Kudos to her for bringing these traditional songs to the masses in the 60's, though, and for that reason alone, I'm giving it 2 stars.
