[lbo-talk] another reason to hate Joan Baez/Comment

[andie nachgeborenen]

Well, her first three or so discs have some glorious
stuff on them, she has a magnificant voice, and her
interpretations of the traditional songs are
interestingly unconventional. And the song Diamonds
and Rust is one of the great lost-love songs, though
of course highly specific to the Dylan-Baez
relationship.  Her work with Rolling Thunger was good
too. Finally, she did some nice work with Ennio
Morricone on some songs about Sacco & Vanzetti.
