Joan Baez - Ring Them Bells [Collectors Edition 2 CD]

The original 1995 release of Joan Baez' live album Ring Them Bells has been expanded and remastered for a 2007 UK release as a collectors edition 2 CD set.

The album features pure folk from the ubiquitous Joan Baez, with a clear anti-war theme running throughout as would be expected. Dylan's Ring Them Bells introduces Mary Black, and the Indigo Girls turn up to sing along with Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Janis Ian turns in a particularly moving performance on Jesse alongside Ms Baez.

Together with the original classics, the Collectors Edition of Ring Them Bells adds in 6 songs previously unreleased, again with some dear and wonderfully talented friends; Gracias a la Vida with Tish Hinojosa, The Water is Wide again featuring the Indigo Girls, and Stones in the Road with Mary Chapin Carpenter.

The songs on Ring Them Bells were recorded in a small-club setting, and the intimate and warm atmosphere is faithfully retained.
