Jim C. gave it a2:
Badly produced and amateurish recording especially the first three cuts where the out of tune guitar overwhelms her voice. Low production values spoil some interesting songs. One hopes her current tour does not feature too many efforts like this.

As Joan ages, so does her wisdom as does her devotion solidify. This is a beautiful album, filled with images and themes that has long been the foundation of her life, vaues and ideals. Excellent job, Joan, once again, you have been a beacon,a guiding light in the storm and fog.
George M. gave it a10:
A lovely mellow sound throughout this Cd with Joan Baez's gorgeous vocals and exquisite instrumentalisation from the ensemble of musicians - brilliant!
Liz T. gave it a9:
A deep and deeply spiritual album, with the title track a brilliant song, all the more powerful for being so understated. It is 'God on our side' for the new millennium. The one mistake is 'Rose of Sharon, which isn't right for her voice now - it exposes the flaws caused by aging that are otherwise skilfully sidestepped. Still and all, Baez' voice retains its power to move and she remains a compelling performer.
Trina gave it a10:
Haunting and awe-inspiring, as only Ms. Baez can deliver time and again!
Gregory S. gave it a10:
Deeply inspiring, strong and moving songs delivered simply from her heart to the listeners heart.... a very moving litany of stories.

Having discovered Joan Baez when I was 19 years old ( I am 60 now), her music , personna,ethical beliefs...have brought me thru many a dark night. She has been like a companion on a murky road. This latest album is magnificent...the choices of songwriters...her voice..I must admit i love when she brings it down a couple of octaves. I'm so pleased to see her finally reaping the rewards that 50 years of struggle can bring. God bless you Joan!!!!!!
