Joan Baez, Vol. 2 deepens the folk storytelling that Joan Baez became known for, blending her clear soprano with the intricate banjo of Bob Yellin and mandolin work by Ralph Rinzler. Recorded with contributions from The Greenbriar Boys and John Herald, this 1961 album offers a rich acoustic ensemble feel, perfect for listeners who appreciate focused, intimate performances. Tracks like "The Lily Of The West" and "Banks Of The Ohio" showcase Baez’s ability to bring traditional ballads into fresh, compelling light, making it a meaningful chapter in her early career with Vanguard. This 1964 pressing on vinyl presents those songs with a straightforward listening experience, good for anyone who wants to explore Baez's formative years in analog form. The record’s VG+ condition indicates it has been played but maintains solid sound quality, with only minor surface marks unlikely to interfere with enjoyment. If your collection leans toward folk and acoustic ensembles, this record slots in nicely without fuss—proof that sometimes, less is more, even on the turntable.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
