Joan Baez:
Wikipedia:
Joan Chandos Baez (born January 9, 1941) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and activist whose contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice. Baez has performed publicly for over 60 years, releasing over 30 albums. Fluent in Spanish and English, she has also recorded songs in at least six other languages. Although generally regarded as a folk singer, her music has diversified since the counterculture era of the 1960s, and encompasses genres such as folk rock, pop, country, and gospel music.
Although a songwriter herself, Baez generally interprets other composers' work, having recorded songs by Bob Dylan, the Allman Brothers Band, the Beatles, Jackson Browne, Leonard Cohen, Woody Guthrie, Violeta Parra, the Rolling Stones, Pete Seeger, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and many others. On her past several albums, she has found success interpreting songs of more recent songwriters, including Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Steve Earle, Natalie Merchant and Joe Henry.
She began her recording career in 1960 and achieved immediate success. Her first three albums, Joan Baez, Joan Baez, Vol. 2, and Joan Baez in Concert all achieved gold record status.
Songs of acclaim include "Diamonds & Rust" and covers of Phil Ochs's "There but for Fortune" and The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". She is also known for "Farewell, Angelina", "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word", "Forever Young", "Here's to You", "Joe Hill", "Sweet Sir Galahad" and "We Shall Overcome". She was one of the first major artists to record the songs of Bob Dylan in the early 1960s; Baez was already an internationally celebrated artist and did much to popularize his early songwriting efforts. Baez also performed fourteen songs at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and has displayed a lifelong commitment to political and social activism in the fields of nonviolence, civil rights, human rights and the environment.
Baez was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017.
Live At Woodstock:
Broadway World Review by BWW News Desk:
Craft Recordings is proud to announce the release of Joan Baez's Live at Woodstock. For the very first time, fans can hear the influential folk singer's entire set, as it was performed at the historic festival 50 years ago. Live at Woodstock features nearly an hour of music and interstitial stories, including "Sweet Sir Galahad," "I Shall Be Released," and a stunning a cappella rendition of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."
It was almost 1:00 a.m. when Joan Baez walked on stage to close out the rainy first night of Woodstock. With her acoustic guitar in hand, the visibly pregnant singer-songwriter kicked off her set with a joyful rendition of the beautifully simple Edwin Hawkins gospel tune, "Oh Happy Day." As she segued into Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind," Baez wished the audience a tongue-in-cheek "good morning."
The weeks leading up to the three-day festival had been tumultuous for Baez. Just one month before, the singer's then-husband, David Harris, had been arrested for draft resistance. The anti-war activist and founder of The Resistance-an organization that encouraged young men to return their draft cards in protest of Vietnam-had just begun serving a 15-month sentence in prison. He was, understandably, on his wife's mind, and was a prevailing theme throughout the show. A few songs into her set, Baez spoke to the audience about Harris, assuring them that "He's fine, and we're fine too." As a tribute to her husband, Baez performed "Joe Hill," a 1936 folk song about the trade union activist.
Joan was joined by two members of Harris' Resistance movement, Jeffrey Shurtleff and Richard Festinger who, along with Baez, called themselves the Struggle Mountain Resistance Band (named after the California-based draft-resistance commune in which Harris and Baez lived). Their songs together included a rousing rendition of The Byrds' "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" and Willie Nelson's "One Day at a Time."
Baez closes out her set by asking the audience to join her in singing "We Shall Overcome," dedicated to Harris. As a special bonus, the last track on the album replays the evening's final announcements from the master of ceremonies, Chip Monck, which will make listeners feel like they are right there on that muddy farm in Bethel, NY. In her 1987 memoir, And a Voice to Sing With, Baez called Woodstock "Three extraordinary days of rain and music," adding that, "I just stood up there in front of the residents of the golden city who were sleeping in the mud and each other's arms, and I gave them what I could at the time. And they accepted my songs. It was a humbling moment, in spite of everything. I'd never sung to a city before."
