Any Day Now (Joan Baez album)

Any Day Now is the ninth studio album by Joan Baez, released as double LP in 1968 and made up exclusively of Bob Dylan songs.

Laying Bob Dylan sheet music on the floor in front of her, Baez closed her eyes and picked at random, the results of which made up the track listing.

The Vanguard reissue contains two bonus tracks: "Blowin' in the Wind" and "It Ain't Me Babe," both live performances from Baez' 1967 tour of Japan.

In his Allmusic review, music critic Thom Jurek wrote of the album "Her empathy for the material, her keen understanding of Dylan's sound world, and her own glorious voice brought another dimension to these 16 songs and, if anything, extended their meanings.

The bottom line is that Any Day Now, like Joan and David's Album, found Baez at an intensely inspirational and creative peak.
