Details

[Edit]

Though Joan Baez is best known as a landmark folk singer, many of her albums in the late '60s and early '70s were made in Nashville and have a deliberate country flavor. This final studio album with her original label, Vanguard Records, would also feature her first sizable hit single: a cover of The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," which landed at No. 11 on the pop charts. Baez wrote a good chunk of originals and filled the remainder of the album with songs from The Rolling Stones ("Salt of the Earth"), Mickey Newbury ("San Francisco Mabel Joy," "The 33rd of August," "Angeline"), The Beatles ("Let It Be"), and Kris Kristofferson ("Help Me Make It Through the Night"). Her backing band includes Norman Blake, Kenny Buttrey, David Briggs, producer Norbert Putnam, and Charlie McCoy among the blessed few. This album was released as a double LP with a bonus single that ran at 33 1/3 and featured "Maria Dolores" and Woody Guthrie's "Deportee." This reissue adds a live version of Percy Sledge's "Warm and Tender Love."
