I’ve decided to blow through these next few Joan Baez records so I can move on to records I’m more excited to listen to (John Coltrane, Johnny Cash, Joy Division…)
Record #292: Joan Baez – Joan (1967)
Month: January 2015
Record #291: Joan Baez – Farewell Angelina (1965)
After Joan Baez/5, I expected this record to continue the downward trend of her discography. After all, half of the songs are Bob Dylan covers, so clearly she’s just using her friendship with him to further her own career, right? Well…no.
Record #289: Joan Baez – Joan Baez/5 (1965)
In the five years between Joan Baez’s debut and her third studio album (entitled 5, on account of the 2.5 live albums also released) something strange happened in the landscape of popular music: it became marketable.
Record #288: Joan Baez – Joan Baez (1960)
Three years ago, I was sorting through my records and said to myself, “why do I have so much Joan Baez? I haven’t even listened to these.” Realizing that there were many other records I also hadn’t played. I started this very blog, anticipating that it’d take me about a year to get through my 400 piece collection. I was wrong, and it’s taken me three years to get to the very discography that inspired the project in the first place.
