JOAN BAEZ: ONE DAY AT A TIME
One of the oft-overlooked aspects of Joan Baez's career in the 1960s is that after the first four albums, she never did the same thing twice; what's more, with the possible exception of the Baptism album, she succeeded at least 90 percent of the time in practically everything new that she tried during that decade. One Day At A Time is much closer to 100 percent on target, and was also startlingly new and daring at the time. One Day At A Time also had (and still has) an additional facet that should make it essential listening on another level, to yet another audience - it's an excellent companion to and extension of Baez's appearance on the Woodstock album, as three of the cuts here feature her working with Jeffrey Shurtleff, who was her accompanist at the festival as well.
