From the All Music Guide:
In the late 1950s, prior to signing with Vanguard, Baez recorded this album in a basement, sometimes performing with Bill Wood and Ted Alevizos. It wasn't wholly Baez's album, as only six of the 13 tracks were her solo performances. On two she performed with Bill Wood, and on one she performed with Wood and Alevizos; two of the tracks were Wood solo, and two Alevizos solo. Baez was already handling traditional material such as "Black Is the Color," and her voice was a little less strident than it would be when she rose to national visibility. It's a basic recording that is primarily of historical interest, although, as those things go, it has definite value. This was originally issued on Veritas, and, in 1963, reissued by Squire Records as The Best of Joan Baez, although it was withdrawn after it had made the Top 50, when Baez took legal action against it.

The tracks are:
1. On the Banks of the Ohio - Joan Baez
2. O What a Beautiful City - Joan Baez
3. So Soon in the Morning - Joan Baez & Bill Wood
4. Lowlands - Joan Baez
5. Kitty - Joan Baez & Bill Wood
6. Travelin' Shoes - Bill Wood
7. Astrapsen (The Sun is Risen) - Ted Alevizos
8. Black is the Color - Joan Baez
9. What You Gonan Call Your Pretty Little Baby - Joan Baez
10. Don't Weep After Me - Joan Baez, Bill Wood & Ted Alevizos
11. Sail Away Ladies - Joan Baez
12. Careless Love - Joan Baez & Bill Wood
13. John Henry - Bill Wood
14. Walie Walie - Ted Alevizos

Quotes:

"Louis Maistros has written a lyrical, complex, and brave novel that takes enormous risks and pulls them all off. He is a writer to watch and keep reading, a writer to cherish."
– Peter Straub

"The Society of North American Magic Realists welcomes its newest, most dazzling member, Louis Maistros. His debut novel is a thing of wonder, unlike anything in our literature. It startles. It stuns. It stupefies. No novel since CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES has done such justice to New Orleans. If Franz Kafka had been able to write like Peter Straub, this might have been the result."
– Donald Harington,
Winner of the Robert Penn Warren Award and the Oxford-American Lifetime Achievement Award.

“The Sound of Building Coffins is easily one of the finest and truest pieces of New Orleans fiction I've ever read.”
- Poppy Z. Brite

“One has to write with considerable authenticity to pull off a story steeped in magic and swamp water that examines race and class, death and rebirth, Haitian voodoo, and the beginnings of jazz in 1891 New Orleans...The plot is complex and magical, grounded in the history of the city, without being overly sentimental. There is a comfort with death as a part of life in this work that reveals deep feeling for the city and its past....Highly recommended for all fiction collections, especially where there is an interest in jazz."
