Results for Joan Baez

When 19 year-old Joan Baez emerged on the modern music scene in 1960, a prolific songstress whose beauty and appeal belied her great courage was introduced to a world hoping for change and daring to attempt it. In her stunning soprano, Baez sang of social change and inspiration, fueling the anti-war movement and other important causes with sweetly sung lyrics that inspired, enraged and engaged. She not only created an endless list of her own songs but covered folk classics from early icons including Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs and spoke from a personal place upon the imprisonment of her husband, David Harris, in 1968. Baez transcends trends, turning rock tunes into lullabies, and continues to amaze with her fusion of incandescent voice with social conscience....more

  • Suze Rotolo: Every Picture Tells a Story

    by Bob HillJune 25, 2008Comments (9)

    In A Freewheelin’ Time Rotolo uses her relationship with Dylan as the focal point for everything else happening around them. And in that sense Bob Dylan plays a central role. But—to her credit—Rotolo never exploits the relationship for her own purpose. And she doesn’t waste entire chapters obsessing over Dylan’s every whim.

    by Mary HarronDecember 19, 2007Comments (6)

    In 1959 Joan Baez walked out on stage at the Newport Folk Festival and touched off a wave of adulation that was to reach almost religious proportions. She became the first post-rock ‘n’ roll youth idol, the patron saint of the new folk music: Time magazine ran a rather bemused cover story on the Baez phenomenon, fans would ask for locks of her hair.
