Ring Them Bells


Ring Them Bells is a live album taken from Joan Baez' April 1995 shows at New York's The [Bottom Line (venue)|The Bottom Line]. In addition to her own solo set, the album featured collaborations with other female artists including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mimi Fariña, Dar Williams, the Indigo Girls and Mary Black. Though Baez and many of the collaborating artists were admirers of one another, this album marked the first time many of them had worked together. Baez' manager, Mark Spector, served as producer.
In February 2007, Proper Records issued a two-CD "Collectors' edition" with six additional tracks.
