(Review from amazon, allmusic)

Joan was very much an album of its time in terms of its sound and production, more so than any other album that Joan Baez ever recorded. In 1967, rock, folk, folk-rock, and pop all seemed to be headed in new and ever-more-ornate directions, and Joan was a response to that change and, not coincidentally, is also arguably the most self-consciously beautiful record that Baez ever cut.

Arranger/conductor Peter Schickele, who had previously worked with Baez on her Christmas album, provides a rich, full bodied, musical orchestration that, at times, is replete with guitar, piano, organ, vibraphone, bass, drums, percussion, french horns, trumpets, trombones, oboes, bassoons, tambourine, harp and celesta.

The highlights “Turquoise” with its gorgeous parts for the harps and the horns, “Children of Darkness” with its beautiful writing for the reeds, and “Saigon Bride” with its haunting brass part — are profoundly beautiful.

In tribute to her folk roots, in “Greenwood Side” Baez sings accompanied by her guitar. It is the Joan Baez with which many of her earliest fans are most familiar. At nearly eight minutes in length, it is the longest track on this album.

This edition of the album also features two bonus tracks; one from the “Joan” sessions, the other recorded the same year although not specifically for this album. “Oh, Had I a Golden Thread” is a folk/gospel version of a Peter Seeger song. “Autumn Leaves” is a Jacques Prevert poem that was originally set to music by Joseph Kosma and later adapted by Johnny Mercer, which Baez sings in French.
