Thread Name: A question about (very) early Joan Baez
Subject: RE: A question about (very) early Joan Baez
The album "Very Early Joan" is a great collection, released by Vanguard. I'm sure you can find it on the Net somewhere, on Ebay if all else fails. I recommend it highly if you like Joan Baez. It has a couple of hilarious parodies of pop songs of the time, done live by Joan to an enthusiastic folk audience. She should've done a whole album of stuff like that. Her deadpan (if a little sardonic) delivery of bubble-gum songs of the day is more than funny, it's sidesplitting.
