2008 marks Joan Baex 50th anniversary as a recording artist. The album was produced by the legendary Steve Earle. Joan gives her distinct interpretations to songs from Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin and more. Razor and Tie.

You go girl, keep those albums coming !!!!!! (2008-11-26)
Customer Review : 5
I have listened to Joan Baez songs since I was in grammar school and I am just as much in awe of her voice now as I was then (the sixties). Persoanlly I appreciate the more religious tones of the CD. After the recent political roller coaster that we have been on it is nice to be able to sit down, listen to music that actually talks to our thoughts, and relax our spirits. To those who say her voice is off key, I have been in church and heard old voices off key, trust me, Joan's voice is dead on perfect. I was able to attend her concert in Tuscaloosa in 2008 and was amazed at how awesome it was to hear her in person.
Joan, you go girl, keep singing till the Good Lord calls you home.

This Album is too "Christian" for me. I preferred her older material much more than this sort of music.
Very disappointing (2008-11-22)
Customer Review : 1
I found this CD to be virually unlistenable. I love Joan Baez's recordings, but she no longer has a melodic voice. It does not even have the character that made Johnny Cash's late albums such treasures. I tried the CD twice, but could not make it all the way through either time. It was too painful to listen to. Sorry. I was hoping for a late career triumph for Joan, I love her so.

I won't buy this because of all the religion. I heard Joan @ Woodstock 1969.
She always sang spirituals, but this is too much, esp. when religion & gay rights are the hot topic.

"Day After Tomorrow" is an excellent Baez disc IMHO! Her song selections continue to be powerful. Her voice, while weathered, remains expressive and powerful. Patty Griffin's "Mary" has a lovely melody that Baez embodies completely as she finds inspiration from the example of the mother of Jesus, "Every time the snow drifts, every time the sand shifts, even when the night lifts, she's always there." Eliza Gilkyson wrote two tracks that Baez recorded. "Rose of Sharon" was originally on Eliza's CD Redemption Road. Steve Earle's acoustic guitar compliments Baez's voice that brims with emotion, "Rise up my love & come away, the rain is over & gone, you are the fruit of my darkest day." "Requiem" from Gilkyson's Paradise Hotel is masterfully sequenced after "Mary" as Baez combines the same persona to arrive at a statement of hope, "In the dark night of our soul, bring some comfort to us all." Particularly moving to me is Baez's version of "Henry Russell's Last Words" that introduces the "Mary" image with "Oh how I love you Mary." The track takes me closest to Baez's early folk days with its slow progression & Tim O'Brien's bouzouki giving a quaint and somber feel. "Day After Tomorrow" is a strong set, masterfully compiled & admirably performed. Bravo!
