Just a reminder that Joan Baez' voice and singing ability and lengthy career are a gift to us all

[John Gallup]

TIdal has lots of Joan Baez but not this record, but there's a current reissue on vinyl, which I have. Her rendition of "No Woman, No Cry" is just beautiful and touching.

She, Tori Amos and Suzanne Vega are three artists that I've know about forever, but have not dipped my toes in.  Nice nod John; I have some exploring to do.

Play on

I've been listening to her music since the late 60's (as a kid).  I really love her sound.  Suzanne Vega is a name from the past for me too.  My dealer in RI used to use her for auditions (that doesn't sound right, but you understand).

If you like her warbling voice then you might also want to try Buffy St. Marie.

Never heard of Buffy.  Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to find her on tidal today.

Pete,
If you don’t like these three, then I would not go a lot further:

• “Universal Soldier”
• “Qu’Appele Saskatchewen” 

She was/is a contemporary of Joan Baez, and she helped to launch Joni Mitchell.
So I out those three in the same bin.

I assume you’ve heard of Phil Ochs ?

not a bad doco:

Phil Ochs is still so relevant today. Like Dylan, many of their songs are timeless
