One of my favorite Joan Baez albums is the one she had suppressed: Joan Baez in San Francisco (Fantasy, also reissued by Bear Family) These were her first recordings, released only after she became a phenomenon and the Veritas and Vanguard first releases. What delights me about it is the repertoire reflects the pop music of our generation - early rock&roll, calypso, etc. I remember a night at a "folk" venue in Houston in the late 1960's after the shows ended, a bunch of the performers sat around and sang many of these same songs. Happy Birthday Joan! Thomas. |
