Artist: Joan Baez
Joan Baez, with the "achingly pure soprano" of her
early career and the more mature, trained voice of today, is one of my
favorite artists ever. Back when I was first getting into folk music, I
found her autobiography, And A Voice To Sing With, in the public
library. At that point I had heard little to nothing of her work. I have
since reread the book three or four times. She's not only a great singer
and songwriter, but a very interesting person to boot! I play a lot of
Joan Baez on my show, much of it from her recent album Ring Them
Bells. I also have many older albums, though.
Why not visit her official website? She
seems to be actively involved in the site, unlike some artists who let
their People do all the webweaving.

You can also garner info from online record store CDNow, but it's probably better to support your local, non-chain-owned record store with your purchases!
