For some reason I've always ignored her because I don't really know why. But tonight I was coming down with my best friend and watching No Direction Home trying to relax and Joan Baez came on and she did some old hymn about jesus being our savior or some crap like that I can't really remember but what struck me was how beautiful it was, her voice and just her and the guitar it was so honest and pure and even though I didn't agree at all with the words I was really struck by it. She did a bunch of Bob Dylan covers too, I don't know if I'd say they were better or not they were just different and it was beautiful.
Here's some songs; YouTube - Joan Baez - With God on Our Side (Live 1966) YouTube - Joan Baez - Farewell Angelina (Live 1966) YouTube - Joan Baez - It Ain't Me, Babe (Live 1965) YouTube - Joan Baez - It Ain't Me, Babe (Live 1965)

Sweet Sir Galahad, at Woodstock, in which she calls her writing "mediocre". I wonder if she truly meant that, or if it was just really hard not to have your writing compared with Bob Dylan back then when you were a folk singer
YouTube - Joan Baez - Sweet Sir Galahad Her voice has aged pretty nicely too, it might not as clear as it used to be, but I enjoy her lower register. House Of The Rising Sun: YouTube - Joan Baez - House of the Rising Sun Her cover of Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You (predates LZ's obviously, but it's such a great song, it's hard to mess it up) YouTube - Joan Baez - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You |
