Ah, yes; yet again, the once anointed King and Queen of folk song resurface. I love some of Dylan's lyrics, though I never wholly liked his enigmatic persona and rather nasal delivery. Moreover, while he was, primarily, a creator of songs, Baez was seen as THE interpreter of traditional ballads. Some would (and still do) argue that he was never truly a "folk singer." Mind, this is from my first memory of them, circa 1961 or '62. What has transpired in the years since convinces me that he was a seminal musical force(if an acquired
taste). She, on the other hand, seems to be lost somewhere between folk, commercial and political personas, depending upon the time and place. In the long term, I fear her impact will be forgotten long before his.
