I have often said;there is Joan Baez; and there are other female singers.
I first saw her in 1967 at a free concert she gave on the grounds of the Washington Monument after the DAR would not let her perform in Consitution Hall because of her politics. Great then, great now, love her covers of Steve Earle songs.
For those wanting an introduction to her I recommend the DVD How Sweet the Sound which portrays her life story. Some great old footage of her when she was a child with her sisters, and of her performing at the Club 47 coffeehouse in Cambridge Mass. when she was 18. If you liked No Direction Home about Dylan you should definitely watch this.
