Product Description:

Personnel: Joan Baez (vocals, guitar); Erik Della Penna (vocals, guitar, lap steel guitar, banjo); Duke McVinnie (vocals, guitar); Graham Maby (vocals, bass guitar); George Javori (drums, percussion).

Recording information: Bowery Ballroom, New York, New York (2004).

Recorded live at New York City's Bowery Ballroom shortly after the presidential election of 2004, BOWERY SONGS finds folk icon Joan Baez working with a formidable backing band and sticking to her protest traditions. However, political issues manage to inform, rather than weigh down, this vibrant set, which showcases the veteran performer's still-gorgeous voice and her deft, thoughtful renditions of songs penned by Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Greg Brown, and others.

Entertainment Reviews:

Dirty Linen - p.61

Mojo (Publisher) - p.98
