The most striking thing to me were the clips of Baez. I haven't listened to her in a long time, and the purity of her voice really hits hard. I'd actually forgotten just how beautiful it was. Plus, I'd never heard "Diamonds and Rust," and now I'll have to get that album.

Diamonds & Rust is on quite a lot of Joan compilations, as well as the original album. She has sung it live on tour about 8 out of the 10 times I've seen her.

There are quite a few versions on You Tube too

Diamonds & Rust

and of course there is also the Judas Priest take on it!

Diamonds & Rust (Judas priest)

As I said in another thread, whether 'tis folk or not is often all in the arrangement...
