Diamonds And Rust In the BullRing, A Joan Baez Album I Had Never Heard!

I thought I had heard every Baez album she released, but somehow this one had escaped me. Chad at Analogue Productions has brought us this rare album on both 200 gram vinyl and SACD. It was mastered from the original analog tap by Kevin Grat at Cohearent Audo and pressed at QRP.

The album gives us a performance by Baez in a bullring in Bilbao, Spain. The performance was in 1988.  Side one of the collection consists of songs sung in English and side two in Spanish.

Like I said I had never heard it, but I couldn’t believe how good it is. of course the title cut is great but I loved hearing her sing “Famous Blue Raincoat,” “Let It Be,”  “Txoria Txori” and “Llego Con Tres Heridas.” What great music!
